Introduce the notion of Language-based formatter prefix/suffix
This is meant for languages that share certain data types but present them in syntatically different ways, such that LLDB can now have language-based awareness of which of the syntax variations it has to present to the user when formatting those values
This is goodness for new languages and interoperability, but is NFC for existing languages. As such, existing tests cover this

This is meant to support languages that can do some sort of bridging from<-->to these ObjC types via types that statically vend themselves as Cocoa types, but dynamically have an implementation that does not match any of our well-known types, but where an introspecting formatter can be vended by the bridged language
llvm-svn: 249185
Currently, it only supports Objective-C - C++ types can be looked up through debug info via 'image lookup -t', whereas ObjC types via this command are looked up by runtime introspection
This behavior is in line with type lookup's behavior in Xcode 7, but I am definitely open to feedback as to what makes the most sense here

This used to be hardcoded in the FormatManager, but in a pluginized world that is not the right way to go
So, move this step to the Language plugin such that appropriate language plugins for a type get a say about adding candidates to the formatters lookup tables

The Language plugin is menat to answer language-specific questions that are not bound to the existence of a process. Those are still the domain of the LanguageRuntime plugin
The Language plugin will, instead, answer questions such as providing language-specific data formatters or expression evaluation
At the moment, the interface is hollowed out, and empty do-nothing plugins have been setup for ObjC, C++ and ObjC++
