This patch adds support for memory regions in Scripted Processes.
This is necessary to read the stack memory region in order to
reconstruct each stackframe of the program.
In order to do so, this patch makes some changes to the SBAPI, namely:
- Add a new constructor for `SBMemoryRegionInfo` that takes arguments
such as the memory region name, address range, permissions ...
This is used when reading memory at some address to compute the offset
in the binary blob provided by the user.
- Add a `GetMemoryRegionContainingAddress` method to `SBMemoryRegionInfoList`
to simplify the access to a specific memory region.
With these changes, lldb is now able to unwind the stack and reconstruct
each frame. On top of that, reloading the target module at offset 0 allows
lldb to symbolicate the `ScriptedProcess` using debug info, similarly to an
ordinary Process.
To test this, I wrote a simple program with multiple function calls, ran it in
lldb, stopped at a leaf function and read the registers values and copied
the stack memory into a binary file. These are then used in the python script.

The first line of the doc string ends up on the SB API class summary at
the root page of the Python API web page of LLDB. Currently many of the
descriptions are missing or are several lines which makes the table really
hard to read.
This just adds the missing docstrings where possible and fixes the formatting
where necessary.
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.
