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 will allow, in a subsequent patch, the addition of a global
setting that allows the user to specify a single character that
LLDB will recognize as an escape character when processing arg
strings to accomodate differences in Windows/non-Windows path
handling.

Make breakpoint setting by file and line much more efficient by only looking for inlined breakpoint locations if we are setting a breakpoint in anything but a source implementation file. Implementing this complex for a many reasons. Turns out that parsing compile units lazily had some issues with respect to how we need to do things with DWARF in .o files. So the fixes in the checkin for this makes these changes:
- Add a new setting called "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" which can be set to "never", "always", or "headers". "never" will never try and set any inlined breakpoints (fastest). "always" always looks for inlined breakpoint locations (slowest, but most accurate). "headers", which is the default setting, will only look for inlined breakpoint locations if the breakpoint is set in what are consudered to be header files, which is realy defined as "not in an implementation source file".
- modify the breakpoint setting by file and line to check the current "target.inline-breakpoint-strategy" setting and act accordingly
- Modify compile units to be able to get their language and other info lazily. This allows us to create compile units from the debug map and not have to fill all of the details in, and then lazily discover this information as we go on debuggging. This is needed to avoid parsing all .o files when setting breakpoints in implementation only files (no inlines). Otherwise we would need to parse the .o file, the object file (mach-o in our case) and the symbol file (DWARF in the object file) just to see what the compile unit was.
- modify the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" to subclass lldb_private::Module so that the virtual "GetObjectFile()" and "GetSymbolVendor()" functions can be intercepted when the .o file contenst are later lazilly needed. Prior to this fix, when we first instantiated the "SymbolFileDWARFDebugMap" class, we would also make modules, object files and symbol files for every .o file in the debug map because we needed to fix up the sections in the .o files with information that is in the executable debug map. Now we lazily do this in the DebugMapModule::GetObjectFile()
Cleaned up header includes a bit as well.

- 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".
