Currently most of the test files have a separate dwarf and a separate
dsym test with almost identical content (only the build step is
different). With adding dwo symbol file handling to the test suit it
would increase this to a 3-way duplication. The purpose of this change
is to eliminate this redundancy with generating 2 test case (one dwarf
and one dsym) for each test function specified (dwo handling will be
added at a later commit).
Main design goals:
* There should be no boilerplate code in each test file to support the
multiple debug info in most of the tests (custom scenarios are
acceptable in special cases) so adding a new test case is easier and
we can't miss one of the debug info type.
* In case of a test failure, the debug symbols used during the test run
have to be cleanly visible from the output of dotest.py to make
debugging easier both from build bot logs and from local test runs
* Each test case should have a unique, fully qualified name so we can
run exactly 1 test with "-f <test-case>.<test-function>" syntax
* Test output should be grouped based on test files the same way as it
happens now (displaying dwarf/dsym results separately isn't
preferable)
Proposed solution (main logic in lldbtest.py, rest of them are test
cases fixed up for the new style):
* Have only 1 test fuction in the test files what will run for all
debug info separately and this test function should call just
"self.build(...)" to build an inferior with the right debug info
* When a class is created by python (the class object, not the class
instance), we will generate a new test method for each debug info
format in the test class with the name "<test-function>_<debug-info>"
and remove the original test method. This way unittest2 see multiple
test methods (1 for each debug info, pretty much as of now) and will
handle the test selection and the failure reporting correctly (the
debug info will be visible from the end of the test name)
* Add new annotation @no_debug_info_test to disable the generation of
multiple tests for each debug info format when the test don't have an
inferior

The many many benefits include:
1 - Input/Output/Error streams are now handled as real streams not a push style input
2 - auto completion in python embedded interpreter
3 - multi-line input for "script" and "expression" commands now allow you to edit previous/next lines using up and down arrow keys and this makes multi-line input actually a viable thing to use
4 - it is now possible to use curses to drive LLDB (please try the "gui" command)
We will need to deal with and fix any buildbot failures and tests and arise now that input/output and error are correctly hooked up in all cases.

This has led to many test suite failures because of copy and paste where new test cases were based off of other test cases and the "mydir" variable wasn't updated.
Now you can call your superclasses "compute_mydir()" function with "__file__" as the sole argument and the relative path will be computed for you.

command script import now does reloads - for real
If you invoke command script import foo and it detects that foo has already been imported, it will
- invoke reload(foo) to reload the module in Python
- re-invoke foo.__lldb_init_module
This second step is necessary to ensure that LLDB does not keep cached copies of any formatter, command, ... that the module is providing
Usual caveats with Python imports persist. Among these:
- if you have objects lurking around, reloading the module won't magically update them to reflect changes
- if module A imports module B, reloading A won't reload B
These are Python-specific issues independent of LLDB that would require more extensive design work
The --allow-reload (-r) option is maintained for compatibility with existing scripts, but is clearly documented as redundant - reloading is always enabled whether you use it or not

and silence the backtrace printout
In the process, refactor the Execute* commands in ScriptInterpreter to take an options object, and add a new setting to not mask out errors so that the callers can handle them directly
instead of having the default behavior
llvm-svn: 167067
a) adds a new --synchronicity (-s) setting for "command script add" that allows the user to decide if scripted commands should run synchronously or asynchronously (which can make a difference in how events are handled)
b) clears up several error messages
c) adds a new --allow-reload (-r) setting for "command script import" that allows the user to reload a module even if it has already been imported before
d) allows filename completion for "command script import" (much like what happens for "target create")
e) prevents "command script add" from replacing built-in commands with scripted commands
f) changes AddUserCommand() to take an std::string instead of a const char* (for performance reasons)
plus, it fixes an issue in "type summary add" command handling which caused several test suite errors
