The purpose of the class is to make it easy to execute tasks in parallel
Basic design goals:
* Have a very lightweight and easy to use interface where a list of
lambdas can be executed in parallel
* Use a global thread pool to limit the number of threads used
(std::async don't do it on Linux) and to eliminate the thread creation
overhead
* Destroy the thread currently not in use to avoid the confusion caused
by them during debugging LLDB
Possible future improvements:
* Possibility to cancel already added, but not yet started tasks
* Parallel for_each implementation
* Optimizations in the thread creation destroyation code

Python file handling got an overhaul in Python 3, and it affects
the way we have to interact with files. Notably:
1) `PyFile_FromFile` no longer exists, and instead we have to use
`PyFile_FromFd`. This means having a way to get an fd from
a FILE*. For this we reuse the lldb_private::File class to
convert between FILE*s and fds, since there are some subtleties
regarding ownership rules when FILE*s and fds refer to the same
file.
2) PyFile is no longer a builtin type, so there is no such thing as
`PyFile_Check`. Instead, files in Python 3 are just instances
of `io.IOBase`. So the logic for checking if something is a file
in Python 3 is to check if it is a subclass of that module.
Additionally, some unit tests are added to verify that `PythonFile`
works as expected on Python 2 and Python 3, and
`ScriptInterpreterPython` is updated to use `PythonFile` instead of
manual calls to the various `PyFile_XXX` methods.

There were a couple of issues related to string handling that
needed to be fixed. In particular, we cannot get away with
converting `PyUnicode` objects to `PyBytes` objects and storing
the `PyBytes` regardless of Python version. Instead we have to
store a `PyUnicode` on Python 3 and a `PyString` on Python 2.
The reason for this is that if you call `PyObject_Str` on a
`PyBytes` in Python 3, it will return you a string that actually
contains the string value wrappedin the characters b''. So if we
create a `PythonString` with the value "test", and we call Str()
on it, we will get back the string "b'test'", which breaks string
equality. The only way to fix this is to store a native
`PyUnicode` object under Python 3.
With this CL, ScriptInterpreterPythonTests unit tests pass 100%
under Python 2 and Python 3.

PythonObjects were being incorrectly ref-counted. This problem was
pervasive throughout the codebase, leading to an unknown number of memory
leaks and potentially use-after-free.
The issue stems from the fact that Python native methods can either return
"borrowed" references or "owned" references. For the former category, you
*must* incref it prior to decrefing it. And for the latter category, you
should not incref it before decrefing it. This is mostly an issue when a
Python C API method returns a `PyObject` to you, but it can also happen with
a method accepts a `PyObject`. Notably, this happens in `PyList_SetItem`,
which is documented to "steal" the reference that you give it. So if you
pass something to `PyList_SetItem`, you cannot hold onto it unless you
incref it first. But since this is one of only two exceptions in the
entire API, it's confusing and difficult to remember.
Our `PythonObject` class was indiscriminantely increfing every object it
received, which means that if you passed it an owned reference, you now
have a dangling reference since owned references should not be increfed.
We were doing this in quite a few places.
There was also a fair amount of manual increfing and decrefing prevalent
throughout the codebase, which is easy to get wrong.
This patch solves the problem by making any construction of a
`PythonObject` from a `PyObject` take a flag which indicates whether it is
an owned reference or a borrowed reference. There is no way to construct a
`PythonObject` without this flag, and it does not offer a default value,
forcing the user to make an explicit decision every time.
All manual uses of `PyObject` have been cleaned up throughout the codebase
and replaced with `PythonObject` in order to make RAII the predominant
pattern when dealing with native Python objects.

With this change, liblldb is 95% of the way towards being able
to work under both Python 2.x and Python 3.x. This should
introduce no functional change for Python 2.x, but for Python
3.x there are some important changes. Primarily, these are:
1) PyString doesn't exist in Python 3. Everything is a PyUnicode.
To account for this, PythonString now stores a PyBytes instead
of a PyString. In Python 2, this is equivalent to a PyUnicode,
and in Python 3, we do a conversion from PyUnicode to PyBytes
and store the PyBytes.
2) PyInt doesn't exist in Python 3. Everything is a PyLong. To
account for this, PythonInteger stores a PyLong instead of a
PyInt. In Python 2.x, this requires doing a conversion to
PyLong when creating a PythonInteger from a PyInt. In 3.x,
there is no PyInt anyway, so we can assume everything is a
PyLong.
3) PyFile_FromFile doesn't exist in Python 3. Instead there is a
PyFile_FromFd. This is not addressed in this patch because it
will require quite a large change to plumb fd's all the way
through the system into the ScriptInterpreter. This is the only
remaining piece of the puzzle to get LLDB supporting Python 3.x.
Being able to run the test suite is not addressed in this patch.
After the extension module can compile and you can enter an embedded
3.x interpreter, the test suite will be addressed in a followup.

Summary:
When `module_spec.GetFileSpec().GetDirectory().AsCString()` returned a `nullptr` this line caused a segmentation fault:
`std::string module_directory = module_spec.GetFileSpec().GetDirectory().AsCString()`
Some context:
I was remote debugging an executable built with Clang in an Ubuntu VM on my Windows machine using lldb-mi. I copied the executable and nothing else from the Ubuntu VM to the Windows machine.
Then started lldb-server in the Ubuntu VM:
```
./bin/lldb-server gdbserver *:8888 -- /home/enlight/Projects/dbgmits/build/Debug/data_tests_target
```
And ran `lldb-mi --interpreter` on Windows with the following commands:
```
-file-exec-and-symbols C:\Projects\data_tests_target
-target-select remote 192.168.56.101:8888
-exec-continue
```
After which the segmentation fault occurred at the aforementioned line. Inside this method `module_spec.GetFileSpec()` returns an empty `FileSpec` (no dir, no filename), while `module_spec.GetSymbolFileSpec().GetFilename()` returns `"libc-2.19.so"`.

Previously embedded interpreters were handled as ad-hoc source
files compiled into source/Interpreter. This made it hard to
disable a specific interpreter, or to add support for other
interpreters and allow the developer to choose which interpreter(s)
were enabled for a particular build.
This patch converts script interpreters over to a plugin-based system.
Script interpreters now live in source/Plugins/ScriptInterpreter, and
the canonical LLDB interpreter, ScriptInterpreterPython, is moved there
as well.
Any new code interfacing with the Python C API must live in this location
from here on out. Additionally, generic code should never need to
reference or make assumptions about the presence of a specific interpreter
going forward.

Summary:
Since all TSC operations are now executed synchronously, TSC has become a little more than a
messenger between different parts of NativeProcessLinux. Therefore, the reason for its existance
has disappeared.
This commit moves the contents of the TSC into the NPL class. This will enable us to remove all
the boilerplate code in NPL (as it stands now, this is most of the class), which I plan to do in
subsequent commits.
Unfortunately, this also means we will lose the unit tests for the TSC. However, since the size
of the TSC has diminished, the unit tests were not testing much at this point anyway, so it's not
a big loss.
No functional change.
Test Plan: All tests continue to pass.

Summary:
This change removes the thread state coordinator thread by making all the operations it was
performing synchronous. In order to prevent deadlock, NativeProcessLinux must now always call
m_monitor->DoOperation with the m_threads_mutex released. This is needed because HandleWait
callbacks lock the mutex (which means the monitor thread will block waiting on whoever holds the
lock). If the other thread now requests a monitor operation, it will wait for the monitor thread
do process it, creating a deadlock.
To preserve this invariant I have introduced two new Monitor commands: "begin operation block"
and "end operation block". They begin command blocks the monitor from processing waitpid
events until the corresponding end command, thereby assuring the monitor does not attempt to
acquire the mutex.
Test Plan: Run the test suite locally, verify no tests fail.

The order of libraries passed to the linker didn't work under linux (you
need the llvm libraries first, then the lldb libraries). I modelled this

Sigh. There's really not a good alternative until we decouple
python from lldb better. The only way the build works right now
is by having every executable link against every LLDB library.
This causes implicit transitive link dependencies on the union
of everything that LLDB brings in. Which means that if all we
want is one header file from interpreter, we have to bring in
everything, including everything that everything depends on,
which means python.
There's outstanding efforts to address this, but it's not yet
complete. So until then, this is all we can do.

On Windows, you need to call WSAStartup() before making any socket
calls, and WSACleanup() before you shutdown. This wasn't being
done, so all of the socket tests were failing. This fixes
that, which brings the unit test suite to a fully working state
on Windows.

This makes the directory structure mirror the canonical LLVM
directory structure for a gtest suite.
Additionally, this patch deletes the xcode project. Nobody
is currently depending on this, and it would be better to have
gtest unit tests be hand-maintained in the Xcode workspace
rather than using this python test runner. Patches to that
effect will be submitted as followups.
