RegisterInfo's `reg_name`/`reg_alt_name` fields are C-Strings and are supposed
to only be generated from a ConstString. The reason for that is that
`DynamicRegisterInfo::GetRegisterInfo` and
`RegInfoBasedABI::GetRegisterInfoByName` try to optimise finding registers by
name by only comparing the C string pointer values instead of the underlying
strings. This only works if both C strings involved in the comparison come from
a ConstString. If one of the two C strings doesn't come from a ConstString the
comparison won't work (and most likely will silently fail).
I added an assert in b0060c3a78 which checks that
both strings come from a ConstString. Apparently not all ABI plugins are
generating their register names via ConstString, so this code is now not just
silently failing but also asserting.
In D88375 we did a shady fix for the MIPS plugins by just copying the
ConstString setup code to that plugin, but we still need to fix ABISysV_arc,
ABISysV_ppc and ABISysV_ppc64 plugins.
I would say we just fix the remaining plugins by removing the whole requirement
to have the register names coming from ConstStrings. I really doubt that we
actually save any time with the whole ConstString search trick (searching ~50
strings that have <4 characters doesn't sound more expensive than calling the
really expensive ConstString constructor + comparing the same amount of pointer
values). Also whatever small percentage of LLDB's runtime is actually spend in
this function is anyway not worth the complexity of this approach.
This patch just removes all this and just does a normal string comparison.

This patch has no effect for C and C++. In more dynamic languages,
such as Objective-C and Swift GetByteSize() needs to call into the
language runtime, so it's important to pass one in where possible. My
primary motivation for this is some work I'm doing on the Swift
branch, however, it looks like we are also seeing warnings in
Objective-C that this may resolve. Everything in the SymbolFile
hierarchy still passes in nullptrs, because we don't have an execution
context in SymbolFile, since SymbolFile transcends processes.

LLDB has a few different styles of header guards and they're not very
consistent because things get moved around or copy/pasted. This patch
unifies the header guards across LLDB and converts everything to match
LLVM's style.

This patch changes the way we initialize and terminate the plugins in
the system initializer. It uses an approach similar to LLVM's
TARGETS_TO_BUILD with a def file that enumerates the plugins.
The previously landed patch got reverted because it was lacking:
(1) A plugin definition for the Objective-C language runtime,
(2) The dependency between the Static and WASM dynamic loader,
(3) Explicit initialization of ScriptInterpreterNone for lldb-test.
All issues have been addressed in this patch.

Summary:
This patch creates a new subclass of the ABI class in order to abstract away the
mechanism in which we "augment" register information. This enables alternate
augmentation strategies to be introduced.
All existing ABI classes have been modified to inherit from RegInfoBasedABI, but
they will be refactored in subsequent patches.

This is a step towards making the initialize and terminate calls be
generated by CMake, which in turn is towards making it possible to
disable plugins at configuration time.

Summary:
There's a fair amount of code duplication between the different ABI plugins for
the same architecture (e.g. ABIMacOSX_arm & ABISysV_arm). Deduplicating this
code is not very easy at the moment because there is no good place where to put
the common code.
Instead of creating more plugins, this patch reduces their number by grouping
similar plugins into a single folder/plugin. This makes it easy to extract
common code to a (e.g.) base class, which can then live in the same folder.
The grouping is done based on the underlying llvm target for that architecture,
because the plugins already require this for their operation.
