When debugging read-only memory we cannot use software breakpoint. We
already have support for hardware breakpoints and users can specify them
with `-H`. However, there's no option to force LLDB to use hardware
breakpoints internally, for example while stepping.
This patch adds a setting target.require-hardware-breakpoint that forces
LLDB to always use hardware breakpoints. Because hardware breakpoints
are a limited resource and can fail to resolve, this patch also extends
error handling in thread plans, where breakpoints are used for stepping.

This change allows you to write a new breakpoint type where the
logic for setting breakpoints is determined by a Python callback
written using the SB API's.

When introduced, breakpoint names were just tags that you could
apply to breakpoints that would allow you to refer to a breakpoint
when you couldn't capture the ID, or to refer to a collection of
breakpoints.
This change makes the names independent holders of breakpoint options
that you can then apply to breakpoints when you add the name to the
breakpoint. It adds the "breakpoint name configure" command to set
up or reconfigure breakpoint names. There is also full support for
then in the SB API, including a new SBBreakpointName class.
The connection between the name and the breakpoints
sharing the name remains live, so if you reconfigure the name, all the
breakpoint options all change as well. This allows a quick way
to share complex breakpoint behavior among a bunch of breakpoints, and
a convenient way to iterate on the set.
You can also create a name from a breakpoint, allowing a quick way
to copy options from one breakpoint to another.
I also added the ability to make hidden and delete/disable protected
names. When applied to a breakpoint, you will only be able to list,
delete or disable that breakpoint if you refer to it explicitly by ID.
This feature will allow GUI's that need to use breakpoints for their
own purposes to keep their breakpoints from getting accidentally
disabled or deleted.

You can get a breakpoint to auto-continue by adding "continue"
as a command, but that has the disadvantage that if you hit two
breakpoints simultaneously, the continue will force the process
to continue, and maybe even forstalling the commands on the other.
The auto-continue flag means the breakpoints can negotiate about
whether to stop.
Writing tests, I wanted to supply some commands when I made the
breakpoints, so I also added that ability.

When an option was set at on a location, I was just copying the whole option set
to the location, and letting it shadow the breakpoint options. That was wrong since
it meant changes to unrelated options on the breakpoint would no longer take on this
location. I added a mask of set options and use that for option propagation.
I also added a "location" property to breakpoints, and added SBBreakpointLocation.{G,S}etCommandLineCommands
since I wanted to use them to write some more test cases.

Serialize breakpoint names & the hardware_requested attributes.
Also added a few missing affordances to SBBreakpoint whose absence
writing the tests pointed out.

Moved the guts of the code from CommandObjectBreakpoint to Target (should
have done it that way in the first place.) Added an SBBreakpointList class
so there's a way to specify which breakpoints to serialize and to report the
deserialized breakpoints.

Summary:
Move scripts/Python/interface to scripts/interface so that we
can start making iterative improvements towards sharing the
interface files between multiple languages (each of which would
have their own directory as now).
Test Plan: Build and see.
