Summary: This is motivated by D63591, where we realized that there isn't a really good way of telling whether a DataExtractor is reading actual data, or is it just returning default values because it reached the end of the buffer. This patch resolves that by providing a new "Cursor" class. A Cursor object encapsulates two things: - the current position/offset in the DataExtractor - an error object Storing the error object inside the Cursor enables one to use the same pattern as the std::{io}stream API, where one can blindly perform a sequence of reads and only check for errors once at the end of the operation. Similarly to the stream API, as soon as we encounter one error, all of the subsequent operations are skipped (return default values) too, even if the would suceed with clear error state. Unlike the std::stream API (but in line with other llvm APIs), we force the error state to be checked through usage of llvm::Error.
