Currently calling SBType::IsTypeComplete returns true for record types if and
only if the underlying record in our internal Clang AST has a definition.
The function however doesn't actually force the loading of any external
definition from debug info, so it currently can return false even if the type is
actually defined in a program's debug info but LLDB hasn't lazily created the
definition yet.
This patch changes the behaviour to always load the definition first so that
IsTypeComplete now consistently returns true if there is a definition in the
module/target.
The motivation for this patch is twofold:
* The API is now arguably more useful for the user which don't know or care
about the internal lazy loading mechanism of LLDB.
* With D101950 there is no longer a good way to ask a Decl for a definition
without automatically pulling in a definition from the ExternalASTSource. The
current behaviour doesn't seem useful enough to justify the necessary
workarounds to preserve it for a time after D101950.
Note that there was a test that used this API to test lazy loading of debug info
but that has been replaced with TestLazyLoading by now (which just dumps the
internal Clang AST state instead).

This patch adds support for memory regions in Scripted Processes.
This is necessary to read the stack memory region in order to
reconstruct each stackframe of the program.
In order to do so, this patch makes some changes to the SBAPI, namely:
- Add a new constructor for `SBMemoryRegionInfo` that takes arguments
such as the memory region name, address range, permissions ...
This is used when reading memory at some address to compute the offset
in the binary blob provided by the user.
- Add a `GetMemoryRegionContainingAddress` method to `SBMemoryRegionInfoList`
to simplify the access to a specific memory region.
With these changes, lldb is now able to unwind the stack and reconstruct
each frame. On top of that, reloading the target module at offset 0 allows
lldb to symbolicate the `ScriptedProcess` using debug info, similarly to an
ordinary Process.
To test this, I wrote a simple program with multiple function calls, ran it in
lldb, stopped at a leaf function and read the registers values and copied
the stack memory into a binary file. These are then used in the python script.

This patch splits the previous `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface` into
multiple specific classes:
1. The `ScriptedInterface` abstract class that carries the interface
instance object and its virtual pure abstract creation method.
2. The `ScriptedPythonInterface` that holds a generic `Dispatch` method that
can be used by various interfaces to call python methods and also keeps a
reference to the Python Script Interpreter instance.
3. The `ScriptedProcessInterface` that describes the base Scripted
Process model with all the methods used in the underlying script.
All these components are used to refactor the `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface`
class, making it more modular.
This patch is also a requirement for the upcoming work on `ScriptedThread`.

Add a new feature to process save-core on Darwin systems -- for
lldb to create a user process corefile with only the dirty (modified
memory) pages included. All of the binaries that were used in the
corefile are assumed to still exist on the system for the duration
of the use of the corefile. A new --style option to process save-core
is added, so a full corefile can be requested if portability across
systems, or across time, is needed for this corefile.
debugserver can now identify the dirty pages in a memory region
when queried with qMemoryRegionInfo, and the size of vm pages is
given in qHostInfo.
Create a new "all image infos" LC_NOTE for Mach-O which allows us
to describe all of the binaries that were loaded in the process --
load address, UUID, file path, segment load addresses, and optionally
whether code from the binary was executing on any thread. The old
"read dyld_all_image_infos and then the in-memory Mach-O load
commands to get segment load addresses" no longer works when we

This adds a basic SB API for creating and stopping traces.
Note: This doesn't add any APIs for inspecting individual instructions. That'd be a more complicated change and it might be better to enhande the dump functionality to output the data in binary format. I'll leave that for a later diff.
This also enhances the existing tests so that they test the same flow using both the command interface and the SB API.

Enums and constants are currently missing in the new LLDB Python API docs.
In theory we could just let them be autogenerated like the SB API classes, but sadly the generated documentation
suffers from a bunch of problems. Most of these problems come from the way SWIG is representing enums, which is
done by translating every single enum case into its own constant. This has a bunch of nasty effects:
* Because SWIG throws away the enum types, we can't actually reference the enum type itself in the API. Also because automodapi is impossible to script, this can't be fixed in post (at least without running like sed over the output files).
* The lack of enum types also causes that every enum *case* has its own full doc page. Having a full doc page that just shows a single enum case is pointless and it really slows down sphinx.
* There is no SWIG code for the enums, so there is also no place to write documentation strings for them. Also there is no support for copying the doxygen strings (which would be in the wrong format, but better than nothing) for enums (let alone our defines), so we can't really document all this code.
* Because the enum cases are just forwards to the native lldb module (which we mock), automodapi actually takes the `Mock` docstrings and adds it to every single enum case.
I don't see any way to solve this via automodapi or SWIG. The most reasonable way to solve this is IMHO to write a simple Clang tool
that just parses our enum/constant headers and emits an *.rst file that we check in. This way we can do all the LLDB-specific enum case and constant
grouping that we need to make a readable documentation page.
As we're without any real documentation until I get around to write that tool, I wrote a doc page for the enums/constants as a stop gap measure.
Most of this is done by just grepping our enum header and then manually cleaning up all the artifacts and copying the few doc strings we have.

Right now we're using the 'content' role as default which will just render
these things as cursive (which isn't really useful for code examples). It also
prevents us from assigning a more useful default role in the future.
Mostly just making sure the indentation is right (SBDebugger had 0 spaces
as it was still plain text, the others had too much indentation or other
minor issues).
The first line of the doc string ends up on the SB API class summary at
the root page of the Python API web page of LLDB. Currently many of the
descriptions are missing or are several lines which makes the table really
hard to read.
This just adds the missing docstrings where possible and fixes the formatting
where necessary.
This translates most of the old ASCII art in our documentation to the
equivalent in restructured text (which the new version of the LLDB docs
is using).

These callbacks are set using the following:

The user supplied script is executed as:
function (frame, bp_loc, ...)
<body>
end
So the local variables 'frame', 'bp_loc' and vararg are all accessible.
Any global variables declared will persist in the Lua interpreter.
A user should never hold 'frame' and 'bp_loc' in a global variable as
these userdatas are context dependent.
