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 patch introduces a concept of "frame recognizer" and "recognized frame". This should be an extensible mechanism that retrieves information about special frames based on ABI, arguments or other special properties of that frame, even without source code. A few examples where that could be useful could be 1) objc_exception_throw, where we'd like to get the current exception, 2) terminate_with_reason and extracting the current terminate string, 3) recognizing Objective-C frames and automatically extracting the receiver+selector, or perhaps all arguments (based on selector).

This patch teaches lldb to detect when there are missing frames in a
backtrace due to a sequence of tail calls, and to fill in the backtrace
with artificial tail call frames when this happens. This is only done
when the execution history can be determined from the call graph and
from the return PC addresses of calls on the stack. Ambiguous sequences
of tail calls (e.g anything involving tail calls and recursion) are
detected and ignored.
Depends on D49887.

Summary:
This patch adds a framework for adding descriptions to the command completions we provide.
It also adds descriptions for completed top-level commands so that we can test this code.
Completions are in general supposed to be displayed alongside the completion itself. The descriptions
can be used to provide additional information about the completion to the user. Examples for descriptions
are function signatures when completing function calls in the expression command or the binary name
when providing completion for a symbol.
There is still some boilerplate code from the old completion API left in LLDB (mostly because the respective
APIs are reused for non-completion related purposes, so the CompletionRequest doesn't make sense to be
used), so that's why I still had to change some function signatures. Also, as the old API only passes around a
list of matches, and the descriptions are for these functions just another list, I had to add some code that
essentially just ensures that both lists are always the same side (e.g. all the manual calls to
`descriptions->AddString(X)` below a `matches->AddString(Y)` call).
The initial command descriptions that come with this patch are just reusing the existing
short help that is already added in LLDB.
An example completion with descriptions looks like this:
```
(lldb) pl
Available completions:
platform -- Commands to manage and create platforms.
plugin -- Commands for managing LLDB plugins.
```

There was no way to find out what's wrong if SBProcess SBTarget::LoadCore(const char *core_file) failed.
Additionally, the implementation was unconditionally setting sb_process, so it wasn't even possible to check if the return SBProcess is valid.
This change adds a new overload which surfaces the errors and also returns a valid SBProcess only if the core load succeeds:
SBProcess SBTarget::LoadCore(const char *core_file, SBError &error);

The core of this change is the new CommandInterpreter::m_command_state,
which models the state transitions for interactive commands, including
an "interrupted" state transition.
In general, command interruption requires cooperation from the code
executing the command, which needs to poll for interruption requests
through CommandInterpreter::WasInterrupted().
CommandInterpreter::PrintCommandOutput() implements an optionally
interruptible printing of the command output, which for large outputs
was likely the longest blocking part.
(ex. target modules dump symtab on a complex binary could take 10+ minutes)

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.

Summary:
This patch introduces new SB APIs for tracing support
inside LLDB. The idea is to gather trace data from
LLDB and provide it through this APIs to external
tools integrating with LLDB. These tools will be
responsible for interpreting and presenting the
trace data to their users.
The patch implements the following new SB APIs ->
-> StartTrace - starts tracing with given parameters
-> StopTrace - stops tracing.
-> GetTraceData - read the trace data .
-> GetMetaData - read the meta data assosciated with the trace.
-> GetTraceConfig - read the trace configuration
Tracing is associated with a user_id that is returned
by the StartTrace API and this id needs to be used
for accessing the trace data and also Stopping
the trace. The user_id itself may map to tracing
the complete process or just an individual thread.
The APIs require an additional thread parameter
when the user of these APIs wishes to perform
thread specific manipulations on the tracing instances.
The patch also includes the corresponding
python wrappers for the C++ based APIs.
