Summary:
-var-update calls CMICmdCmdVarUpdate::ExamineSBValueForChange to check if a varObj has been updated. It checks that the varObj is updated, then recurses on all of its children. If a child is a pointer pointing back to a parent node, this will result in an infinite loop, and lldb-mi hanging.
The problem is exposed by packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-mi/variable/TestMiVar.py, but this test is skipped everywhere.
This patch changes ExamineSBValueForChange to not traverse children of varObjs that are pointers.
