Why? Debugger::FormatPrompt() would run through the format prompt every time and parse it and emit it piece by piece. It also did formatting differently depending on which key/value pair it was parsing.
The new code improves on this with the following features:
1 - Allow format strings to be parsed into a FormatEntity::Entry which can contain multiple child FormatEntity::Entry objects. This FormatEntity::Entry is a parsed version of what was previously always done in Debugger::FormatPrompt() so it is more efficient to emit formatted strings using the new parsed FormatEntity::Entry.
2 - Allows errors in format strings to be shown immediately when setting the settings (frame-format, thread-format, disassembly-format
3 - Allows auto completion by implementing a new OptionValueFormatEntity and switching frame-format, thread-format, and disassembly-format settings over to using it.
4 - The FormatEntity::Entry for each of the frame-format, thread-format, disassembly-format settings only replaces the old one if the format parses correctly
5 - Combines all consecutive string values together for efficient output. This means all "${ansi.*}" keys and all desensitized characters like "\n" "\t" "\0721" "\x23" will get combined with their previous strings
6 - ${*.script:} (like "${var.script:mymodule.my_var_function}") have all been switched over to use ${script.*:} "${script.var:mymodule.my_var_function}") to make the format easier to parse as I don't believe anyone was using these format string power user features.
7 - All key values pairs are defined in simple C arrays of entries so it is much easier to add new entries.
These changes pave the way for subsequent modifications where we can modify formats to do more (like control the width of value strings can do more and add more functionality more easily like string formatting to control the width, printf formats and more).

This is currently controlled by a setting:
(lldb) settings set target.process.python-os-plugin-path <path>
Or clearing it with:
(lldb) settings clear target.process.python-os-plugin-path
The process will now reload the OperatingSystem plug-in.
This was implemented by:
- adding the ability to set a notify callback for when an option value is changed
- added the ability for the process plug-in to load the operating system plug-in on the fly
- fixed bugs in the Process::GetStatus() so all threads are displayed if their thread IDs are larger than 32 bits
- adding a callback in ProcessProperties to tell when the "python-os-plugin-path" is changed by the user
- fixing a crasher in ProcessMachCore that happens when updating the thread list when the OS plugin is reloaded

plugin
dynamic-loader
macosx-kernel
(bool) disable-kext-loading
To settings can be set using:
(lldb) settings set plugin.dynamic-loader.macosx-kernel.disable-kext-loading true
I currently only hooked up the DynamicLoader plug-ins, but the code is very easy to duplicate when and if we need settings for other plug-ins.

Added the ability for OptionValueString objects to take flags. The only flag is currently for parsing escape sequences. Not the prompt string can have escape characters translate which will allow colors in the prompt.
Added functions to Args that will parse the escape sequences in a string, and also re-encode the escape sequences for display. This was looted from other parts of LLDB (the Debugger::FormatString() function).

- no setting auto completion
- very manual and error prone way of getting/setting variables
- tons of code duplication
- useless instance names for processes, threads
Now settings can easily be defined like option values. The new settings makes use of the "OptionValue" classes so we can re-use the option value code that we use to set settings in command options. No more instances, just "does the right thing".
