Summary:
Sometimes users think that setting a function regex for all function that contain the word 'needle' in their
name looks like this: `*needle*`. However, LLDB only searches the function name and doesn't fully match
it against the regex, so the leading and trailing '*' operators don't do anything and actually just cause the
regex engine to reject the regular expression with "repetition-operator operand invalid".
This patch makes this a bit more obvious to the user by printing a warning that a leading '*' before this
regular expression here doesn't have any purpose (and will cause an error). This doesn't attempt to detect
a case where there is only a trailing '*' as that would involve parsing the regex and it seems the most
common way to end up in this situation is by doing `rbreak *needle*`.

Summary:
Currently the breakpoint command is prompting the user to file a bug report if the provided regex is invalid:
```
(lldb) rbreak *foo
error: Function name regular expression could not be compiled: "Inconvertible error value. An error has occurred that could not be converted to a known std::error_code. Please file a bug. repetition-operator operand invalid"
```
The reason is simply that we are using the wrong StringError constructor (the one with the error code as the first parameter
is also printing the string version of the error code, and the inconvertible error code is just an invalid place holder code with
that description). Switching the StringError constructor parameters will only print the error message we get from the regex
engine when we convert the error into a string.
I checked the rest of the code base and I couldn't find the same issue anywhere else.
