Summary:
One small step in my long running quest to improve python exception handling in
LLDB. Replace GetInteger() which just returns an int with As<long long> and
friends, which return Expected types that can track python exceptions

Make it possible to capture reproducers from the API test suite. Given
the symmetry between capture and replay, this patch also adds the
necessary code for replay. For now this is a NO-OP until the
corresponding reproducer instrumentation changes land.

Using the approach suggested by Pavel in D77588, this patch introduces a
new lldbconfig module that lives next to the lldb module. It makes it
possible to make the lldb module configurable before importing it. More
specifically it makes it possible to delay initializing the debugger,
which is needed for testing the reproducer.

Summary:
The buffer protocol does not allow us to just call PyBuffer_Release
and assume the buffer will still be there. Most things that implement the
buffer protocol will let us get away with that, but not all. We need
to release it at the end of the SWIG wrapper.

Summary:
Usually when Clang emits an error Fix-It it does two things. It emits the diagnostic and then it fixes the
currently generated AST to reflect the applied Fix-It. While emitting the diagnostic is easy to implement,
fixing the currently generated AST is often tricky. That causes that some Fix-Its just keep the AST as-is or
abort the parsing process entirely. Once the parser stopped, any Fix-Its for the rest of the expression are
not detected and when the user manually applies the Fix-It, the next expression will just produce a new
Fix-It.
This is often occurring with quickly made Fix-Its that are just used to bridge temporary API changes
and that often are not worth implementing a proper API fixup in addition to the diagnostic. To still
give some kind of reasonable user-experience for users that have these Fix-Its and rely on them to
fix their expressions, this patch adds the ability to retry parsing with applied Fix-Its multiple time to
give the normal Fix-It experience where things Clang knows how to fix are not causing actual expression
error (at least when automatically applying Fix-Its is activated).
The way this is implemented is just by having another setting in the expression options that specify how
often we should try applying Fix-Its and then reparse the expression. The default setting is still 1 for everyone
so this should not affect the speed in which we fail to parse expressions.

Make sure that `process` is not None before calling is_alive. Otherwise
this might result in an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'is_alive'.
Although lldb.process and friends could already be None in the past, for
example after leaving an interactive scripting session, the issue became
more prevalent after `fc1fd6bf9fcfac412b10b4193805ec5de0e8df57`.
I audited the other interface files for usages of target, process,
thread and frame, but this seems the only place where a global is used
from an SB class.
Some tests set settings and don't clean them up, this leads to side effects in other tests.
The patch removes a global debugger instance with a per-test debugger to avoid such effects.
From what I see, lldb.DBG was needed to determine the platform before a test is run,
lldb.selected_platform is used for this purpose now. Though, this required adding a new function
to the SBPlatform interface.

This patch moves the SB API method GetExtendedCrashInformation from
SBTarget to SBProcess since it only makes sense to call this method on a
sane process which might not be the case on a SBTarget object.
It also addresses some feedbacks received after landing the first patch
for the 'crash-info' feature.

Currently, in macOS, when a process crashes, lldb halts inside the
implementation disassembly without yielding any useful information.
The only way to get more information is to detach from the process, then wait
for ReportCrash to generate a report, find the report, then see what error
message was included in it. Instead of waiting for this to happen, lldb could
locate the error_string and make it available to the user.
This patch addresses this issue by enabling the user to fetch extended
crash information for crashed processes using `process status --verbose`.
Depending on the platform, this will try to gather different crash information
into an structured data dictionnary. This dictionnary is generic and extensible,
as it contains an array for each different type of crash information.
On Darwin Platforms, lldb will iterate over each of the target's images,
extract their `__crash_info` section and generated a StructuredData::Array
containing, in each entry, the module spec, its UUID, the crash messages
and the abort cause. The array will be inserted into the platform's
`m_extended_crash_info` dictionnary and `FetchExtendedCrashInformation` will
return its JSON representation like this:
```
{
"crash-info annotations": [
{
"abort-cause": 0,
"image": "/usr/lib/system/libsystem_malloc.dylib",
"message": "main(76483,0x1000cedc0) malloc: *** error for object 0x1003040a0: pointer being freed was not allocated",
"message2": "",
"uuid": "5747D0C9-900D-3306-8D70-1E2EA4B7E821"
},
...
],
...
}
```
This crash information can also be fetched using the SB API or lldb-rpc protocol
using SBTarget::GetExtendedCrashInformation().

Summary:
`SBThread.GetStopDescription` is a curious API as it takes a buffer length as a parameter that specifies
how many bytes the buffer we pass has. Then we fill the buffer until the specified length (or the length
of the stop description string) and return the string length. If the buffer is a nullptr however, we instead
return how many bytes we would have written to the buffer so that the user can allocate a buffer with
the right size and pass that size to a subsequent `SBThread.GetStopDescription` call.
Funnily enough, it is not possible to pass a nullptr via the Python SWIG bindings, so that might be the
first API in LLDB that is not only hard to use correctly but impossible to use correctly. The only way to
call this function via Python is to throw in a large size limit that is hopefully large enough to contain the
stop description (otherwise we only get the truncated stop description).
Currently passing a size limit that is smaller than the returned stop description doesn't cause the
Python bindings to return the stop description but instead the truncated stop description + uninitialized characters
at the end of the string. The reason for this is that we return the result of `snprintf` from the method
which returns the amount of bytes that *would* have been written (which is larger than the buffer).
This causes our Python bindings to return a string that is as large as full stop description but the
buffer that has been filled is only as large as the passed in buffer size.
This patch fixes this issue by just recalculating the string length in our buffer instead of relying on the wrong
return value. We also have to do this in a new type map as the old type map is also used for all methods
with the given argument pair `char *dst, size_t dst_len` (e.g. SBProcess.GetSTDOUT`). These methods have
different semantics for these arguments and don't null-terminate the returned buffer (they instead return the
size in bytes) so we can't change the existing typemap without breaking them.

All the code required to generate the language bindings for Python and
Lua lives under scripts, even though the majority of this code aren't
scripts at all, and surrounded by scripts that are totally unrelated.
I've reorganized these files and moved everything related to the
language bindings into a new top-level directory named bindings. This
makes the corresponding files self contained and much more discoverable.
