This patch improves the ScriptedPythonInterface::Dispatch method to
support passing lldb_private types to the python implementation.
This will allow, for instance, the Scripted Process python implementation
to report errors when reading memory back to lldb.
To do so, the Dispatch method will transform the private types in the
parameter pack into `PythonObject`s to be able to pass them down to the
python methods.
Then, if the call succeeded, the transformed arguments will be converted
back to their original type and re-assigned in the parameter pack, to
ensure pointers and references behaviours are preserved.
This patch also updates various scripted process python class and tests
to reflect this change.

This patch adds a new matching method for data formatters, in addition
to the existing exact typename and regex-based matching. The new method
allows users to specify the name of a Python callback function that
takes a `SBType` object and decides whether the type is a match or not.
Here is an overview of the changes performed:
- Add a new `eFormatterMatchCallback` matching type, and logic to handle
it in `TypeMatcher` and `SBTypeNameSpecifier`.
- Extend `FormattersMatchCandidate` instances with a pointer to the
current `ScriptInterpreter` and the `TypeImpl` corresponding to the
candidate type, so we can run registered callbacks and pass the type
to them. All matcher search functions now receive a
`FormattersMatchCandidate` instead of a type name.
- Add some glue code to ScriptInterpreterPython and the SWIG bindings to
allow calling a formatter matching callback. Most of this code is
modeled after the equivalent code for watchpoint callback functions.
- Add an API test for the new callback-based matching feature.
For more context, please check the RFC thread where this feature was
originally discussed:

Return our PythonObject wrappers instead of raw PyObjects (obfuscated as
void *). This ensures that ownership (reference counts) of python
objects is automatically tracked.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D117462
This starts to fix the other half of the lifetime problems in this code
-- dangling references. SB objects created on the stack will go away
when the function returns, which is a problem if the python code they
were meant for stashes a reference to them somewhere. Most of the time
this goes by unnoticed, as the code rarely has a reason to store these,
but in case it does, we shouldn't respond by crashing.
This patch fixes the management for a couple of SB objects (Debugger,
Frame, Thread). The SB objects are now created on the heap, and
their ownership is immediately passed on to SWIG, which will ensure they
are destroyed when the last python reference goes away. I will handle
the other objects in separate patches.
I include one test which demonstrates the lifetime issue for SBDebugger.
Strictly speaking, one should create a test case for each of these
objects and each of the contexts they are being used. That would require
figuring out how to persist (and later access) each of these objects.
Some of those may involve a lot of hoop-jumping (we can run python code
from within a frame-format string). I don't think that is
necessary/worth it since the new wrapper functions make it very hard to
get this wrong.

StructuredDataImpl ownership semantics is unclear at best. Various
structures were holding a non-owning pointer to it, with a comment that
the object is owned somewhere else. From what I was able to gather that
"somewhere else" was the SBStructuredData object, but I am not sure that
all created object eventually made its way there. (It wouldn't matter
even if they did, as we are leaking most of our SBStructuredData
objects.)
Since StructuredDataImpl is just a collection of two (shared) pointers,
there's really no point in elaborate lifetime management, so this patch
replaces all StructuredDataImpl pointers with actual objects or
unique_ptrs to it. This makes it much easier to resolve SBStructuredData
leaks in a follow-up patch.

The LLDBSWIGPython functions had (at least) two problems:
- There wasn't a single source of truth (a header file) for the
prototypes of these functions. This meant that subtle differences
in copies of function declarations could go by undetected. And
not-so-subtle differences would result in strange runtime failures.
- All of the declarations had to have an extern "C" interface, because
the function definitions were being placed inside and extert "C" block
generated by swig.
This patch fixes both problems by moving the function definitions to the
%header block of the swig files. This block is not surrounded by extern
"C", and seems more appropriate anyway, as swig docs say it is meant for
"user-defined support code" (whereas the previous %wrapper code was for
automatically-generated wrappers).
It also puts the declarations into the SWIGPythonBridge header file
(which seems to have been created for this purpose), and ensures it is
included by all code wishing to define or use these functions. This
means that any differences in the declaration become a compiler error
instead of a runtime failure.

Using an lldb_private object in the bindings involves three steps
- wrapping the object in it's lldb::SB variant
- using swig to convert/wrap that to a PyObject
- wrapping *that* in a lldb_private::python::PythonObject
Our SBTypeToSWIGWrapper was only handling the middle part. This doesn't
just result in increased boilerplate in the callers, but is also a
functionality problem, as it's very hard to get the lifetime of of all
of these objects right. Most of the callers are creating the SB object
(step 1) on the stack, which means that we end up with dangling python
objects after the function terminates. Most of the time this isn't a
problem, because the python code does not need to persist the objects.
However, there are legitimate cases where they can do it (and even if
the use case is not completely legitimate, crashing is not the best
response to that).
For this reason, some of our code creates the SB object on the heap, but
it has another problem -- it never gets cleaned up.
This patch begins to add a new function (ToSWIGWrapper), which does all
of the three steps, while properly taking care of ownership. In the
first step, I have converted most of the leaky code (except for
SBStructuredData, which needs a bit more work).

This patch changes the `ScriptedThread` initializer in couple of ways:
- It replaces the `SBTarget` parameter by a `SBProcess` (pointing to the
`ScriptedProcess` that "owns" the `ScriptedThread`).
- It adds a reference to the `ScriptedProcessInfo` Dictionary, to pass
arbitrary user-input to the `ScriptedThread`.
This patch also fixes the SWIG bindings methods that call the
`ScriptedProcess` and `ScriptedThread` initializers by passing all the
arguments to the appropriate `PythonCallable` object.

This patch adds support for memory regions in Scripted Processes.
This is necessary to read the stack memory region in order to
reconstruct each stackframe of the program.
In order to do so, this patch makes some changes to the SBAPI, namely:
- Add a new constructor for `SBMemoryRegionInfo` that takes arguments
such as the memory region name, address range, permissions ...
This is used when reading memory at some address to compute the offset
in the binary blob provided by the user.
- Add a `GetMemoryRegionContainingAddress` method to `SBMemoryRegionInfoList`
to simplify the access to a specific memory region.
With these changes, lldb is now able to unwind the stack and reconstruct
each frame. On top of that, reloading the target module at offset 0 allows
lldb to symbolicate the `ScriptedProcess` using debug info, similarly to an
ordinary Process.
To test this, I wrote a simple program with multiple function calls, ran it in
lldb, stopped at a leaf function and read the registers values and copied
the stack memory into a binary file. These are then used in the python script.

This patch splits the previous `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface` into
multiple specific classes:
1. The `ScriptedInterface` abstract class that carries the interface
instance object and its virtual pure abstract creation method.
2. The `ScriptedPythonInterface` that holds a generic `Dispatch` method that
can be used by various interfaces to call python methods and also keeps a
reference to the Python Script Interpreter instance.
3. The `ScriptedProcessInterface` that describes the base Scripted
Process model with all the methods used in the underlying script.
All these components are used to refactor the `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface`
class, making it more modular.
This patch is also a requirement for the upcoming work on `ScriptedThread`.

Modify OpenOptions enum to open the future path into synchronizing
vFile:open bits with GDB. Currently, LLDB and GDB use different flag
models effectively making it impossible to match bits. Notably, LLDB
uses two bits to indicate read and write status, and uses union of both
for read/write. GDB uses a value of 0 for read-only, 1 for write-only
and 2 for read/write.
In order to future-proof the code for the GDB variant:
1. Add a distinct eOpenOptionReadWrite constant to be used instead
of (eOpenOptionRead | eOpenOptionWrite) when R/W access is required.
2. Rename eOpenOptionRead and eOpenOptionWrite to eOpenOptionReadOnly
and eOpenOptionWriteOnly respectively, to make it clear that they
do not mean to be combined and require update to all call sites.
3. Use the intersection of all three flags when matching against
the three possible values.
This commit does not change the actual bits used by LLDB.

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).

At least if this is incorrect the main commit was also incorrect.
By the way, as far as I can tell, these functions are extern "C" because
SWIG does that to everything, not because they particularly need to be.

For example, it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Foo", and
it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Bar". But there's no
way to write a generic "stop when my caller is..." function, and then specify the caller when you add the
command to a breakpoint.
With this patch, you can pass this data in a SBStructuredData dictionary. That will get stored in
the PythonCommandBaton for the breakpoint, and passed to the implementation function (if it has the right
signature) when the breakpoint is hit. Then in lldb, you can say:
(lldb) break com add -F caller_is -k caller_name -v Foo
More generally this will allow us to write reusable Python breakpoint commands.

giving wrong results for some kinds of python callables.
This patch replaces the weird rule with a simple one: if the callable can
take 5 arguments, it gets the 5 argument version of the signature.
Otherwise it gets the old 4 argument version.
