respective ABI plugins as they were plug-ins that supplied ABI specfic info.
Also hookep up the UnwindAssemblyInstEmulation so that it can generate the
unwind plans for ARM.
Changed the way ABI plug-ins are handed out when you get an instance from
the plug-in manager. They used to return pointers that would be mananged
individually by each client that requested them, but now they are handed out
as shared pointers since there is no state in the ABI objects, they can be
shared.

Switch the EmulateInstruction to use the standard RegisterInfo structure
that is defined in the lldb private types intead of passing the reg kind and
reg num everywhere. EmulateInstruction subclasses also need to provide
RegisterInfo structs given a reg kind and reg num. This eliminates the need
for the GetRegisterName() virtual function and allows more complete information
to be passed around in the read/write register callbacks. Subclasses should
always provide RegiterInfo structs with the generic register info filled in as
well as at least one kind of register number in the RegisterInfo.kinds[] array.

an issue with the way the UnwindLLDB was handing out RegisterContexts: it
was making shared pointers to register contexts and then handing out just
the pointers (which would get put into shared pointers in the thread and
stack frame classes) and cause double free issues. MallocScribble helped to
find these issues after I did some other cleanup. To help avoid any
RegisterContext issue in the future, all code that deals with them now
returns shared pointers to the register contexts so we don't end up with
multiple deletions. Also now that the RegisterContext class doesn't require
a stack frame, we patched a memory leak where a StackFrame object was being
created and leaked.
Made the RegisterContext class not have a pointer to a StackFrame object as
one register context class can be used for N inlined stack frames so there is
not a 1 - 1 mapping. Updates the ExecutionContextScope part of the
RegisterContext class to never return a stack frame to indicate this when it
is asked to recreate the execution context. Now register contexts point to the
concrete frame using a concrete frame index. Concrete frames are all of the
frames that are actually formed on the stack of a thread. These concrete frames
can be turned into one or more user visible frames due to inlining. Each
inlined stack frame has the exact same register context (shared via shared
pointers) as any parent inlined stack frames all the way up to the concrete
frame itself.
So now the stack frames and the register contexts should behave much better.

RegisterContextLLDB holds a reference to the SymbolContext
in the vector of Cursors that UnwindLLDB maintains. Switch
UnwindLLDB to hold a vector of shared pointers of Cursors
so this reference doesn't become invalid.
Correctly falling back from the "fast" UnwindPlan to the
"full" UnwindPlan when additional registers need to be
retrieved.

Not yet enabled as the default unwinder but there are no known
backtrace problems with the code at this point.
Added 'log enable lldb unwind' to help diagnose backtrace problems;
this output needs a little refining but it's a good first step.
eh_frame information is currently read unconditionally - the code
is structured to allow this to be delayed until it's actually needed.
There is a performance hit when you have to parse the eh_frame
information for any largeish executable/library so it's necessary
to avoid if possible.
It's confusing having both the UnwindPlan::RegisterLocation struct
and the RegisterConextLLDB::RegisterLocation struct, I need to rename
one of them.
The writing of registers isn't done in the RegisterConextLLDB subclass
yet; neither is the running of complex DWARF expressions from eh_frame
(e.g. used for _sigtramp on Mac OS X).

The Unwind and RegisterContext subclasses still need
to be finished; none of this code is used by lldb at
this point (unless you call into it by hand).
The ObjectFile class now has an UnwindTable object.
The UnwindTable object has a series of FuncUnwinders
objects (Function Unwinders) -- one for each function
in that ObjectFile we've backtraced through during this
debug session.
The FuncUnwinders object has a few different UnwindPlans.
UnwindPlans are a generic way of describing how to find
the canonical address of a given function's stack frame
(the CFA idea from DWARF/eh_frame) and how to restore the
caller frame's register values, if they have been saved
by this function.
UnwindPlans are created from different sources. One source is the
eh_frame exception handling information generated by the compiler
for unwinding an exception throw. Another source is an assembly
language inspection class (UnwindAssemblyProfiler, uses the Plugin
architecture) which looks at the instructions in the funciton
prologue and describes the stack movements/register saves that are
done.
Two additional types of UnwindPlans that are worth noting are
the "fast" stack UnwindPlan which is useful for making a first
pass over a thread's stack, determining how many stack frames there
are and retrieving the pc and CFA values for each frame (enough
to create StackFrameIDs). Only a minimal set of registers is
recovered during a fast stack walk.
The final UnwindPlan is an architectural default unwind plan.
These are provided by the ArchDefaultUnwindPlan class (which uses
the plugin architecture). When no symbol/function address range can
be found for a given pc value -- when we have no eh_frame information
and when we don't have a start address so we can't examine the assembly
language instrucitons -- we have to make a best guess about how to
unwind. That's when we use the architectural default UnwindPlan.
On x86_64, this would be to assume that rbp is used as a stack pointer
and we can use that to find the caller's frame pointer and pc value.
It's a last-ditch best guess about how to unwind out of a frame.
There are heuristics about when to use one UnwindPlan versues the other --
this will all happen in the still-begin-written UnwindLLDB subclass of
Unwind which runs the UnwindPlans.
