Debugging app launch/attach failures can be difficult because of
all of the messages logged to the console on a darwin system;
emitting specific messages around critical API calls can make it
easier to narrow the search for the console messages related to
the failure.

Adds a command line option that makes debugserver propagate the SIGSEGV
signal to the target process.
Motivation: I'm one of the maintainers of Delve [1] a debugger for Go.
We use debugserver as our backend on macOS and one of the most often
reported bugs is that, on macOS, we don't propagate SIGSEGV back to the
target process [2]. Sometimes some programs will actually cause a
SIGSEGV, by design, and then handle it. Those programs can not be
debugged at all.
Since catching signals isn't very important for a Go debugger I'd much
rather have a command line option in debugserver that causes it to let
SIGSEGV go directly to the target process.

When launching an inferior in a new terminal window via AppleScript
and the darwin-debug helper program, we could often end up with the
inferior process having a too-high suspend count, and it would never
resume execution.
lldb tries to wait until darwin-debug has finished its work and has
launched the inferior (WaitForProcessToSIGSTOP) but this wasn't
working correctly - and cannot be made to work.
This patch removes WaitForProcessToSIGSTOP, adds a special tiny
segment to the darwin-debug executable so it can be identified as
that binary (ExecExtraSuspend), and adds code to debugserver to
detect this segment. When debugserver sees this segment, it notes
that the next exec will be done with a launch-suspended flag. When
the next exec happens, debugserver forces an extra task_resume when
we resume the inferior.
An alternative approach would be if lldb could detect when the
inferior has been launched by darwin-debug unambiguously; monitoring
when the unix socket between darwin-debug and lldb was closed would
have been a reasonable way to do this too.

The flakiness on our local machines seems to come for a race in the kernel
between task_suspend and the creation of the Mach exceptions for the threads
that hit breakpoints. The debugserver code is written with the assumption
that the kernel will be able to provide us with all the exceptions for a
given task once task_suspend returns. On machines with higher core counts,
this seems not to be the case. The first batch of exceptions we get after
task_suspend does not contain exceptions for all the threads that have hit
a breakpoint, thus they get misreprorted in the first stop packet.
Adding a 1ms timeout to the call that retrieves the batch of exceptions
seems to workaround the issue reliably on our machines, and it shoulnd't
impact standard debugging scenarios too much (a stop will incur an additional
1ms delay). We'll be talking to the kernel team to figure out the right
contract for those APIs.
This patch also reverts part of Jonas' previous workaround for the
issue (r370785).

to a process so we'll always get messages in the console logs.
Also make the "is frontboard process" / "is backboard process"
determination lazy, specifically take it out of the
MachProcess::AttachForDebug codepath when we are attaching to a
process, to simplify attaching.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This renames the LLDB error class to Status, as discussed
on the lldb-dev mailing list.
A change of this magnitude cannot easily be done without
find and replace, but that has potential to catch unwanted
occurrences of common strings such as "Error". Every effort
was made to find all the obvious things such as the word "Error"
appearing in a string, etc, but it's possible there are still
some lingering occurences left around. Hopefully nothing too
serious.

*** to conform to clang-format’s LLVM style. This kind of mass change has
*** two obvious implications:
Firstly, merging this particular commit into a downstream fork may be a huge
effort. Alternatively, it may be worth merging all changes up to this commit,
performing the same reformatting operation locally, and then discarding the
merge for this particular commit. The commands used to accomplish this
reformatting were as follows (with current working directory as the root of
the repository):
find . \( -iname "*.c" -or -iname "*.cpp" -or -iname "*.h" -or -iname "*.mm" \) -exec clang-format -i {} +
find . -iname "*.py" -exec autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive {} + ;
The version of clang-format used was 3.9.0, and autopep8 was 1.2.4.
Secondly, “blame” style tools will generally point to this commit instead of
a meaningful prior commit. There are alternatives available that will attempt
to look through this change and find the appropriate prior commit. YMMV.

Also, set the names of the threads.

lldb support. I'll be doing more testing & cleanup but I wanted to
get the initial checkin done.
This adds a new SBExpressionOptions::SetLanguage API for selecting a
language of an expression.
I added adds a new SBThread::GetInfoItemByPathString for retriving
information about a thread from that thread's StructuredData.
I added a new StructuredData class for representing
key-value/array/dictionary information (e.g. JSON formatted data).
Helper functions to read JSON and create a StructuredData object,
and to print a StructuredData object in JSON format are included.
A few Cocoa / Cocoa Touch data formatters were updated by Enrico
to track changes in iOS 8 / Yosemite.
Before we query a thread's extended information, the system runtime may
provide hints to the remote debug stub that it will use to retrieve values
out of runtime structures. I added a new SystemRuntime method
AddThreadExtendedInfoPacketHints which allows the SystemRuntime to add
key-value type data to the initial request that we send to the remote stub.
The thread-format formatter string can now retrieve values out of a thread's
extended info structured data. The default thread-format string picks up
two of these - thread.info.activity.name and thread.info.trace_messages.
I added a new "jThreadExtendedInfo" packet in debugserver; I will
add documentation to the lldb-gdb-remote.txt doc soon. It accepts
JSON formatted arguments (most importantly, "thread":threadnum) and
it returns a variety of information regarding the thread to lldb
in JSON format. This JSON return is scanned into a StructuredData
object that is associated with the thread; UI layers can query the
thread's StructuredData to see if key-values are present, and if
so, show them to the user. These key-values are likely to be
specific to different targets with some commonality among many
targets. For instance, many targets will be able to advertise the
pthread_t value for a thread.
I added an initial rough cut of "thread info" command which will print
the information about a thread from the jThreadExtendedInfo result.
I need to do more work to make this format reasonably.
Han Ming added calls into the pmenergy and pmsample libraries if
debugserver is run on Mac OS X Yosemite to get information about the
inferior's power use.
I added support to debugserver for gathering the Genealogy information
about threads, if it exists, and returning it in the jThreadExtendedInfo
JSON result.

It builds cleanly against TOT llvm with xcodebuild. I updated the
cmake files by visual inspection but did not try a build. I haven't
built these sources on any non-Mac platforms - I don't think this
patch adds any code that requires darwin, but please let me know if
I missed something.
In debugserver, MachProcess.cpp and MachTask.cpp were renamed to
MachProcess.mm and MachTask.mm as they picked up some new Objective-C
code needed to launch processes when running on iOS.
