Rework data formatters matching algorithm
What happens now is that, for each category, the FormatNavigator generates all possible matches, and checks them one by one
Since the possible matches do not actually depend on the category (whether a match is accepted or not does, but that check can be shifted at a more convenient time),
it is actually feasible to generate every possible match upfront and then let individual categories just scan through those
This commit changes things by introducing a notion of formatters match candidate, and shifting responsibility for generating all of them given a (ValueObject,DynamicValueType) pair
from the FormatNavigator back to the FormatManager
A list of these candidates is then passed down to each category for matching
Candidates also need to remember whether they were generated by stripping pointers, references, typedefs, since this is something that individual formatters can choose to reject
This check, however, is conveniently only done once a "textual" match has been found, so that the list of candidates is truly category-independent
While the performance benefit is small (mostly, due to caching), this is much cleaner from a design perspective

pure virtual base class and made StackFrame a subclass of that. As
I started to build on top of that arrangement today, I found that it
wasn't working out like I intended. Instead I'll try sticking with
the single StackFrame class -- there's too much code duplication to
make a more complicated class hierarchy sensible I think.

defines a protocol that all subclasses will implement. StackFrame
is currently the only subclass and the methods that Frame vends are
nearly identical to StackFrame's old methods.
Update all callers to use Frame*/Frame& instead of pointers to
StackFrames.
This is almost entirely a mechanical change that touches a lot of
the code base so I'm committing it alone. No new functionality is
added with this patch, no new subclasses of Frame exist yet.
I'll probably need to tweak some of the separation, possibly moving
some of StackFrame's methods up in to Frame, but this is a good
starting point.

Data formatters now cache themselves.
This commit provides a new formatter cache mechanism. Upon resolving a formatter (summary or synthetic), LLDB remembers the resolution for later faster retrieval.
Also moved the data formatters subsystem from the core to its own group and folder for easier management, and done some code reorganization.
The ObjC runtime v1 now returns a class name if asked for the dynamic type of an object. This is required for formatters caching to work with the v1 runtime.
Lastly, this commit disposes of the old hack where ValueObjects had to remember whether they were queried for formatters with their static or dynamic type.
Now the ValueObjectDynamicValue class works well enough that we can use its dynamic value setting for the same purpose.
