As a follow up of https://reviews.llvm.org/D99989#inline-953343, I'm now
storing std::string instead of char *. I know it might never break as char *,
but if it does, chasing that bug might be dauting.
Besides, I'm also checking of the strings gotten through the SB API are
null or not.
Introduce three new stop reasons for fork, vfork and vforkdone events.
This includes server support for serializing fork/vfork events into
gdb-remote protocol. The stop infos for the two base events take a pair
of PID and TID for the newly forked process.

Some linters get rather upset upon seeing
`std::unordered_map<const char*`, because it looks like a map of
strings but isn't. lldb uses interned strings so this is not a problem.
DenseMap is a better data structure for this anyways, so use that
instead.
VSCode doesn't render multiple variables with the same name in the variables view. It only renders one of them. This is a situation that happens often when there are shadowed variables.
The nodejs debugger solves this by adding a number suffix to the variable, e.g. "x", "x2", "x3" are the different x variables in nested blocks.
In this patch I'm doing something similar, but the suffix is " @ <file_name:line>), e.g. "x @ main.cpp:17", "x @ main.cpp:21". The fallback would be an address if the source and line information is not present, which should be rare.
This fix is only needed for globals and locals. Children of variables don't suffer of this problem.

In certain occasions times, like when LLDB is initializing and
evaluating the .lldbinit files, it tries to print to stderr and stdout
directly. This confuses the IDE with malformed data, as it talks to
lldb-vscode using stdin and stdout following the JSON RPC protocol. This
ends up terminating the debug session with the user unaware of what's
going on. There might be other situations in which this can happen, and
they will be harder to debug than the .lldbinit case.
After several discussions with @clayborg, @yinghuitan and @aadsm, we
realized that the best course of action is to simply redirect stdout and
stderr to the console, without modifying LLDB itself. This will prove to
be resilient to future bugs or features.
I made the simplest possible redirection logic I could come up with. It
only works for POSIX, and to make it work with Windows should be merely
changing pipe and dup2 for the windows equivalents like _pipe and _dup2.
Sadly I don't have a Windows machine, so I'll do it later once my office
reopens, or maybe someone else can do it.
I'm intentionally not adding a stop-redirecting logic, as I don't see it
useful for the lldb-vscode case (why would we want to do that, really?).
I added a test.
Note: this is a simpler version of D80659. I first tried to implement a
RIIA version of it, but it was problematic to manage the state of the
thread and reverting the redirection came with some non trivial
complexities, like what to do with unflushed data after the debug
session has finished on the IDE's side.

Progress events internally have a completed count and a total count, which can mean that for a job with 20000 total counts, then there will be 20000 events fired. Sending all these events to the IDE can break it. For example, debugging a huge binary resulted in around 50 million messages, which rendered the IDE useless, as it was spending all of its resources simply parsing messages and updating the UI.
A way to fix this is to send unique percentage updates, which are at most 100 per job, which is not much. I was able to debug that big target and confirm that only unique percentage notifications are sent. I can't write a test for this because the current test is flaky. I'll figure out later how to make the test reliable, but fixing this will unblock us from deploy a new version of lldb-vscode.

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.
This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.
There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:
- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests
I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.

LLDB can often appear deadlocked to users that use IDEs when it is indexing DWARF, or parsing symbol tables. These long running operations can make a debug session appear to be doing nothing even though a lot of work is going on inside LLDB. This patch adds a public API to allow clients to listen to debugger events that report progress and will allow UI to create an activity window or display that can show users what is going on and keep them informed of expensive operations that are going on inside LLDB.

Summary:
The request "evaluate" supports a "context" attribute, which is sent by VSCode. The attribute is defined here https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/specification#Requests_Evaluate
The "clipboard" context is not yet supported by lldb-vscode, so we can forget about it for now. The 'repl' (i.e. Debug Console) and 'watch' (i.e. Watch Expression) contexts must use the expression parser in case the frame's variable path is not enough, as the user expects these expressions to never fail. On the other hand, the 'hover' expression is invoked whenever the user hovers on any keyword on the UI and the user is fine with the expression not being fully resolved, as they know that the 'repl' case is the fallback they can rely on.
Given that the 'hover' expression is invoked many many times without the user noticing it due to it being triggered by the mouse, I'm making it use only the frame's variable path functionality and not the expression parser. This should speed up tremendously the responsiveness of a debug session when the user only sets source breakpoints and inspect local variables, as the entire debug info is not needed to be parsed.
Regarding tests, I've tried to be as comprehensive as possible considering a multi-file project. Fortunately, the results from the "hover" case are enough most of the times.

VSCode was not being informed whenever a location had been resolved (after being initated as non-resolved), so even though it was actually resolved, the IDE would show a hollow dot (instead of a red dot) because it didn't know about the change.

@mstorsjo found a mistake that I made when trying to fix some Windows
compilation errors encountered by @stella.stamenova.
I was incorrectly using the LLVM_ON_UNIX macro. In any case, proper use

Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D96060
@stella.stamenova found out that lldb-vscode's Win32 macros were failing
when building on windows targetings POSIX platforms.
I'm changing these macros for LLVM_ON_UNIX, which should be more
accurate.

I'm fixing the macro definitions and disabling the tests for python
versions lower than 3.7. I'll figure out that actual issue with
python3.6 after the buildbots are fine again.
Depends on D93874.
runInTerminal was using --wait-for, but it was some problems because it uses process polling looking for a single instance of the debuggee:
- it gets to know of the target late, which renders breakpoints in the main function almost impossible
- polling might fail if there are already other processes with the same name
- polling might also fail on some linux machine, as it's implemented with the ps command, and the ps command's args and output are not standard everywhere
As a better way to implement this so that it works well on Darwin and Linux, I'm using now the following process:
- lldb-vscode notices the runInTerminal, so it spawns lldb-vscode with a special flag --launch-target <target>. This flags tells lldb-vscode to wait to be attached and then it execs the target program. I'm using lldb-vscode itself to do this, because it makes finding the launcher program easier. Also no CMAKE INSTALL scripts are needed.
- Besides this, the debugger creates a temporary FIFO file where the launcher program will write its pid to. That way the debugger will be sure of which program to attach.
- Once attach happend, the debugger creates a second temporary file to notify the launcher program that it has been attached, so that it can then exec. I'm using this instead of using a signal or a similar mechanism because I don't want the launcher program to wait indefinitely to be attached in case the debugger crashed. That would pollute the process list with a lot of hanging processes. Instead, I'm setting a 20 seconds timeout (that's an overkill) and the launcher program seeks in intervals the second tepmorary file.
Some notes:
- I preferred not to use sockets because it requires a lot of code and I only need a pid. It would also require a lot of code when windows support is implemented.
- I didn't add Windows support, as I don't have a windows machine, but adding support for it should be easy, as the FIFO file can be implemented with a named pipe, which is standard on Windows and works pretty much the same way.
The existing test which didn't pass on Linux, now passes.

lldb-vsdode was communicating the list of modules to the IDE with events, which in practice ended up having some drawbacks
- when debugging large targets, the number of these events were easily 10k, which polluted the messages being transmitted, which caused the following: a harder time debugging the messages, a lag after terminated the process because of these messages being processes (this could easily take several seconds). The latter was specially bad, as users were complaining about it even when they didn't check the modules view.
- these events were rarely used, as users only check the modules view when something is wrong and they try to debug things.
After getting some feedback from users, we realized that it's better to not used events but make this simply a request and is triggered by users whenever they needed.
This diff achieves that and does some small clean up in the existing code.

Per the DAP spec for SetBreakpoints [1], the way to clear breakpoints is: `To clear all breakpoint for a source, specify an empty array.`
However, leaving the breakpoints field unset is also a well formed request (note the `breakpoints?:` in the `SetBreakpointsArguments` definition). If it's unset, we have a couple choices:
1. Crash (current behavior)
2. Clear breakpoints
3. Return an error response that the breakpoints field is missing.
I propose we do (2) instead of (1), and treat an unset breakpoints field the same as an empty breakpoints field.

In this diff, the mimeType is a kind of media type for formatting the content in the response to a source request. Elements in the disassembly view, like constants, registers and final line comments are colored for highlighting.
A built-in support in the VSCode IDE for syntax highlighting will identify the which mimeType to apply and render the disassembly view as expected.

Summary:
This redoes https://reviews.llvm.org/D79726 and fixes two things.
- The logic that determines whether to automatically disconnect during the tear down is not very dumb compared to the original implementation. Each test will determine whether to do that or not.
- The terminate commands and terminate event were being sent after the disconnect response was sent to the IDE. That was not good, as VSCode stops the debug session as soon as it receives a disconnect response. Now, the terminate event and terminateEvents are being executed before the disconnect response is sent. This ensures that any connection between the IDE and lldb-vscode is alive while the terminate commands are executed. Besides, it also allows displaying the output of the terminate commands on the debug console, as it's still alive.

Summary:
Recently I've noticed that VSCode sometimes doesn't send the terminateDebuggee flag within the disconnectRequest,
even though lldb-vscode sets the terminateDebuggee capability correctly.
This has been causing that inferiors don't die after the debug session ends, and many users have reported issues because of this.
An easy way to mitigate this is to set better default values for the terminateDebuggee field in the disconnect request.
I'm assuming that for a launch request, the default will be true, and for attach it'll be false.

Summary:
It turns out that the order in which we provide completions for expressions is
nondeterministic. This leads to confusing user experience and also breaks the
reproducer tests (as two LLDB tests can go out of sync due to the
non-determinism in the completion lists)
The reason for the non-determinism is that the CompletionConsumer informs us
about decls in the order in which it finds declarations in the lookup store of
the DeclContexts it visits (mainly this snippet in SemaLookup.cpp):
``` lang=c++
// Enumerate all of the results in this context.
for (DeclContextLookupResult R :
Load ? Ctx->lookups()
: Ctx->noload_lookups(/*PreserveInternalState=*/false)) {
[...]
```
This storage of the lookup is sorted by pointer values (see the hash of
`DeclarationName`) and can therefore be non-deterministic. The LLDB code
completion consumer that receives these calls originally expected that the order
of declarations is defined by Clang, but it seems the API expects the client to
provide an order to the completions.
This patch fixes the issue as follows:
* We sort the completions we get from Clang alphabetically and also by the
priority value we get from Clang (with priority value sorting having precedence
over the alphabetical sorting)
* We make all the functions/variables that touch a completion before the sorting
const-qualified. The idea is that this should prevent that we never have
observable side-effect from touching these declarations in a non-deterministic
order (e.g., we don't try to complete the type by accident).
This way we behave like the other parts of Clang which also sort the results by
some deterministic value (usually the name or something computed from a name,
e.g., edit distance to a given string).
We most likely also need to fix the Clang code to make the loop I listed above
deterministic to prevent these issues in the future (tracked in rdar://63442513
). This wouldn't replace the functionality provided in this patch though as we
would still need the priority and overall alphabetical sorting.
Note: I had to increase the lldb-vscode completion limit to 100 as the tests
look for strings that aren't in the first 50 results anymore due to variable
names starting with letters like 'v' (which are now always shown much further
down in the list due to the alphabetical sorting).
