lldb was mmap'ing archive files once per .o file it loads, now it correctly shares the archive between modules.
LLDB was also always mapping entire contents of universal mach-o files, now it maps just the slice that is required.
Added a new logging channel for "lldb" called "mmap" to help track future regressions.
Modified the ObjectFile and ObjectContainer plugin interfaces to take a data offset along with the file offset and size so we can implement the correct caching and efficient reading of parts of files without mmap'ing the entire file like we used to.
The current implementation still keeps entire .a files mmaped (once) and entire slices from universal files mmaped to ensure that if a client builds their binaries during a debug session we don't lose our data and get corrupt object file info and debug info.

Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.

I started work on being able to add symbol files after a debug session
had started with a new "target symfile add" command and quickly ran into
problems with stale Address objects in breakpoint locations that had
lldb_private::Section pointers into modules that had been removed or
replaced. This also let to grabbing stale modules from those sections.
So I needed to thread harded the Address, Section and related objects.
To do this I modified the ModuleChild class to now require a ModuleSP
on initialization so that a weak reference can created. I also changed
all places that were handing out "Section *" to have them hand out SectionSP.
All ObjectFile, SymbolFile and SymbolVendors were inheriting from ModuleChild
so all of the find plug-in, static creation function and constructors now
require ModuleSP references instead of Module *.
Address objects now have weak references to their sections which can
safely go stale when a module gets destructed.
This checkin doesn't complete the "target symfile add" command, but it
does get us a lot clioser to being able to do such things without a high
risk of crashing or memory corruption.

due to RTTI worries since llvm and clang don't use RTTI, but I was able to
switch back with no issues as far as I can tell. Once the RTTI issue wasn't
an issue, we were looking for a way to properly track weak pointers to objects
to solve some of the threading issues we have been running into which naturally
led us back to std::tr1::weak_ptr. We also wanted the ability to make a shared
pointer from just a pointer, which is also easily solved using the
std::tr1::enable_shared_from_this class.
The main reason for this move back is so we can start properly having weak
references to objects. Currently a lldb_private::Thread class has a refrence
to its parent lldb_private::Process. This doesn't work well when we now hand
out a SBThread object that contains a shared pointer to a lldb_private::Thread
as this SBThread can be held onto by external clients and if they end up
using one of these objects we can easily crash.
So the next task is to start adopting std::tr1::weak_ptr where ever it makes
sense which we can do with lldb_private::Debugger, lldb_private::Target,
lldb_private::Process, lldb_private::Thread, lldb_private::StackFrame, and
many more objects now that they are no longer using intrusive ref counted
pointer objects (you can't do std::tr1::weak_ptr functionality with intrusive
pointers).

Fixed an issues with the SBType and SBTypeMember classes:
- Fixed SBType to be able to dump itself from python
- Fixed SBType::GetNumberOfFields() to return the correct value for objective C interfaces
- Fixed SBTypeMember to be able to dump itself from python
- Fixed the SBTypeMember ability to get a field offset in bytes (the value
being returned was wrong)
- Added the SBTypeMember ability to get a field offset in bits
Cleaned up a lot of the Stream usage in the SB API files.

contents starting at an offset (2 separate methods). This helps
the scripting interface stay more natural by allowing both from
Python.
Added the ability to dump data with address annotations when
call SBData::GetDescription().
Hooked up the SBSection to the __repr__ so you can print section
objects from within python.
Improved the dumping of symbols from python.
Fixed the .i interface references which were set to "Relative to this Group"
which somehow included Jim's "lldb-clean" root directory in the path. The
interfaces are now in a folder called "interfaces" withing the Xcode API
subfolder.

- New SBSection objects that are object file sections which can be accessed
through the SBModule classes. You can get the number of sections, get a
section at index, and find a section by name.
- SBSections can contain subsections (first find "__TEXT" on darwin, then
us the resulting SBSection to find "__text" sub section).
- Set load addresses for a SBSection in the SBTarget interface
- Set the load addresses of all SBSection in a SBModule in the SBTarget interface
- Add a new module the an existing target in the SBTarget interface
- Get a SBSection from a SBAddress object
This should get us a lot closer to being able to symbolicate using LLDB through
the public API.
