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

No intended change in functionality.

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
