Ewan Crawford 90ff791141 Expression evaluation, a new ThreadPlanCallFunctionUsingABI for executing a function call on target via register manipulation
For Hexagon we want to be able to call functions during debugging, however currently lldb only supports this when there is JIT support. 
Although emulation using IR interpretation is an alternative, it is currently limited in that it can't make function calls.

In this patch we have extended the IR interpreter so that it can execute a function call on the target using register manipulation. 
To do this we need to handle the Call IR instruction, passing arguments to a new thread plan and collecting any return values to pass back into the IR interpreter. 

The new thread plan is needed to call an alternative ABI interface of "ABI::PerpareTrivialCall()", allowing more detailed information about arguments and return values.

Jim Ingham 30fadafefe If a hand-called function is interrupted by hitting a breakpoint, then
when you continue to finish off the function call, the expression result
will be included as part of the thread stop info.

Jim Ingham 63dfc725a7 Fix all the test case breakages caused by folks writing tests all over the place that depended explicitly
on the output of "break set".  Please don't do this sort of thing!!!!!

Johnny Chen b146ad5cd3 Add TestCallStdStringFunction.py which calls std::string member functions while stopped on a breakpoint.
