We want to do a better job presenting errors that occur when evaluating
expressions. Key to this effort is getting away from a model where all
errors are spat out onto a stream where the client has to take or leave
all of them.
To this end, this patch adds a new class, DiagnosticManager, which
contains errors produced by the compiler or by LLDB as an expression
is created. The DiagnosticManager can dump itself to a log as well as
to a string. Clients will (in the future) be able to filter out the
errors they're interested in by ID or present subsets of these errors
to the user.
This patch is not intended to change the *users* of errors - only to
thread DiagnosticManagers to all the places where streams are used. I
also attempt to standardize our use of errors a bit, removing trailing
newlines and making clients omit 'error:', 'warning:' etc. and instead
pass the Severity flag.
The patch is testsuite-neutral, with modifications to one part of the
MI tests because it relied on "error: error:" being erroneously
printed. This patch fixes the MI variable handling and the testcase.

The concept here is that languages may have different ways of communicating
results. In particular, languages may have different names for their result
variables and in fact may have multiple types of result variables (e.g.,
error results). Materializer was tied to one specific model of result handling.
Instead, now UserExpressions can register their own handlers for the result
variables they inject. This allows language-specific code in Materializer to
be moved into the expression parser plug-in, and it simplifies Materializer.
These delegates are subclasses of PersistentVariableDelegate.
PersistentVariableDelegate can provide the name of the result variable, and is
notified when the result variable is populated. It can also be used to touch
persistent variables if need be, updating language-specific state. The
UserExpression owns the delegate and can decide on its result based on
consulting all of its (potentially multiple) delegates.
The user expression itself now makes the determination of what the final result
of the expression is, rather than relying on the Materializer, and I've added a
virtual function to UserExpression to allow this.

There are still a bunch of dependencies on the plug-in, but this helps to
identify them.
There are also a few more bits we need to move (and abstract, for example the
ClangPersistentVariables).
