Add a NativeDelegate API to pass new processes (forks) to LLGS,

Introduce three new stop reasons for fork, vfork and vforkdone events.
This includes server support for serializing fork/vfork events into

Introduce a NativeProcessProtocol API for indicating support for
protocol extensions and enabling them. LLGS calls
GetSupportedExtensions() method on the process factory to determine
which extensions are supported by the plugin. If the future is both
supported by the plugin and reported as supported by the client, LLGS
enables it and reports to the client as supported by the server.
The extension is enabled on the process instance by calling
SetEnabledExtensions() method. This is done after qSupported exchange
(if the debugger is attached to any process), as well as after launching
or attaching to a new inferior.
The patch adds 'fork' extension corresponding to 'fork-events+'
qSupported feature and 'vfork' extension for 'vfork-events+'. Both
features rely on 'multiprocess+' being supported as well.

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.
This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.
There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:
- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests
I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.

This patch carries forward our aim to remove offset field from qRegisterInfo
packets and XML register description. I have created a new function which
returns if offset fields are dynamic meaning client can calculate offset on
its own based on register number sequence and register size. For now this
function only returns true for NativeRegisterContextLinux_arm64 but we can
test this for other architectures and make it standard later.
As a consequence we do not send offset field from lldb-server (arm64 for now)
while other stubs dont have an offset field so it wont effect them for now.
On the client side we have replaced previous offset calculation algorithm
with a new scheme, where we sort all primary registers in increasing
order of remote regnum and then calculate offset incrementally.
This committ also includes a test to verify all of above functionality

The goal of this packet (jTraceGetSupportedType) is to be able to query the gdb-server for the tracing technology that can work for the current debuggeer, which can make the user experience simpler but allowing the user to simply type
thread trace start

Also, if the user typed
help thread trace start
We could directly show the help information of the trace type that is supported for the target, or mention instead that no tracing is supported, if that's the case.
I added some simple tests, besides, when I ran this on my machine with intel-pt support, I got

Fix two bugs that caused attaching to a process in a pre-connected
lldb-server to fail. These are:
1. Prematurely reporting status in NativeProcessFreeBSD::Attach().
The SetState() call defaulted to notify the process, and LLGS tried
to send the stopped packet before the process instance was assigned
to it. While at it, add an assert for that in LLGS.
2. Duplicate call to ReinitializeThreads() (via SetupTrace()) that
overwrote the stopped status in threads. Now SetupTrace() is called
directly by NativeProcessFreeBSD::Attach() (not the Factory) in place
of ReinitializeThreads().
This fixes at least commands/process/attach/TestProcessAttach.py

This patch adds support for the _M and _m gdb-remote packets, which
(de)allocate memory in the inferior. This works by "injecting" a
m(un)map syscall into the inferior. This consists of:
- finding an executable page of memory
- writing the syscall opcode to it
- setting up registers according to the os syscall convention
- single stepping over the syscall
The advantage of this approach over calling the mmap function is that
this works even in case the mmap function is buggy or unavailable. The
disadvantage is it is more platform-dependent, which is why this patch
only works on X86 (_32 and _64) right now. Adding support for other
linux architectures should be easy and consist of defining the
appropriate syscall constants. Adding support for other OSes depends on
the its ability to do a similar trick.

This is essentially a replacement for the PacketUnimplementedError
previously present in the gdb-remote server code.
The reason I am introducing a generic error is because I wanted the
native process classes to be able to signal that they do not support
some functionality. They could not use PacketUnimplementedError as they
are independent of a specific transport protocol. Putting the error
class in the the native process code was also not ideal because the
gdb-remote code is also used for lldb-server's platform mode, which does
not (should not) know how to debug individual processes.
I'm putting it under Utility, as I think it can be generally useful for
notifying about unsupported/unimplemented functionality (and in
particular, for programatically testing whether something is
unsupported).

StringRef will call strlen on the C string which is inefficient (as ConstString already

Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```

However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).
This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

llvm-svn: 363707
Summary:
This is the first of a few patches I have to improve the performance of dynamic module loading on Android.
In this first diff I'll describe the context of my main motivation and will then link to it in the other diffs to avoid repeating myself.
## Motivation
I have a few scenarios where opening a specific feature on an Android app takes around 40s when lldb is attached to it. The reason for that is because 40 modules are dynamicly loaded at that point in time and each one of them is taking ~1s.
## The problem
To learn about new modules we have a breakpoint on a linker function that is called twice whenever a module is loaded. One time just before it's loaded (so lldb can check which modules are loaded) and another right after it's loaded (so lldb can check again which ones are loaded and calculate the diference).
It's figuring out which modules are loaded that is taking quite some time. This is currently done by traversing the linked list of loaded shared libraries that the linker maintains in memory. Each item in the linked list requires its own `x` packet sent to the gdb server (this is android so the network also plays a part). In my scenario there are 400+ loaded libraries and even though we read 0x800 worth of bytes at a time we still make ~180 requests that end up taking 150-200ms.
We also do this twice, once before the module is loaded (state = eAdd) and another right after (state = eConsistent) which easly adds up to ~400ms per module.
## A solution
**Implement `xfer:libraries-svr4` in lldb-server:**
I noticed in the code that loads the new modules that it had support for the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet (added ~4 years ago to support the ds2 debug server) but we didn't support it in lldb-server. This single packet returns an xml list of all the loaded modules by the process. The advantage is that there's no more need to make 180 requests to read the linked list. Additionally this new requests takes around 10ms.
**More efficient usage of the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet in lldb:**
When `xfer:libraries-svr4` is available the Process class has a `LoadModules` function that requests this packet and then loads or unloads modules based on the current list of loaded modules by the process.
This is the function that is used by the DYLDRendezvous class to get the list of loaded modules before and after the module is loaded. However, this is really not needed since the LoadModules function already loaded or unloaded the modules accordingly. I changed this strategy to call LoadModules only once (after the process has loaded the module).
**Bugs**
I found a few issues in lldb while implementing this and have submitted independent patches for them.
I tried to devide this into multiple logical patches to make it easier to review and discuss.
## Tests
I wanted to put these set of diffs up before having all the tests up and running to start having them reviewed from a techical point of view. I'm also having some trouble making the tests running on linux so I need more time to make that happen.
# This diff
The `xfer` packages follow the same protocol, they are requested with `xfer:<object>:<read|write>:<annex>:<offset,length>` and a return that starts with `l` or `m` depending if the offset and length covers the entire data or not. Before implementing the `xfer:libraries-svr4` I refactored the `xfer:auxv` to generically handle xfer packets so we can easly add new ones.
The overall structure of the function ends up being:
* Parse the packet into its components: object, offset etc.
* Depending on the object do its own logic to generate the data.
* Return the data based on its size, the requested offset and length.

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.
Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.
I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.
