objects for the backlink to the lldb_private::Process. The issues we were
running into before was someone was holding onto a shared pointer to a
lldb_private::Thread for too long, and the lldb_private::Process parent object
would get destroyed and the lldb_private::Thread had a "Process &m_process"
member which would just treat whatever memory that used to be a Process as a
valid Process. This was mostly happening for lldb_private::StackFrame objects
that had a member like "Thread &m_thread". So this completes the internal
strong/weak changes.
Documented the ExecutionContext and ExecutionContextRef classes so that our
LLDB developers can understand when and where to use ExecutionContext and
ExecutionContextRef objects.

plug-ins are add on plug-ins for the lldb_private::Process class that can add
thread contexts that are read from memory. It is common in kernels to have
a lot of threads that are not currently executing on any cores (JTAG debugging
also follows this sort of thing) and are context switched out whose state is
stored in memory data structures. Clients can now subclass the OperatingSystem
plug-ins and then make sure their Create functions correcltly only enable
themselves when the right binary/target triple are being debugged. The
operating system plug-ins get a chance to attach themselves to processes just
after launching or attaching and are given a lldb_private::Process object
pointer which can be inspected to see if the main executable, target triple,
or any shared libraries match a case where the OS plug-in should be used.
Currently the OS plug-ins can create new threads, define the register contexts
for these threads (which can all be different if desired), and populate and
manage the thread info (stop reason, registers in the register context) as
the debug session goes on.

an executable file if it is right next to a dSYM file that is found using
DebugSymbols. The code also looks into a bundle if the dSYM file is right
next to a bundle.
Modified the MacOSX kernel dynamic loader plug-in to correctly set the load
address for kext sections. This is a tad tricky because of how LLDB chooses
to treat mach-o segments with no name. Also modified the loader to properly
handle the older version 1 kext summary info.
Fixed a crasher in the Mach-o object file parser when it is trying to set
the section size correctly for dSYM sections.
Added packet dumpers to the CommunicationKDP class. We now also properly
detect address byte sizes based on the cpu type and subtype that is provided.
Added a read memory and read register support to CommunicationKDP. Added a
ThreadKDP class that now uses subclasses of the RegisterContextDarwin_XXX for
arm, i386 and x86_64.
Fixed some register numbering issues in the RegisterContextDarwin_arm class
and added ARM GDB numbers to the ARM_GCC_Registers.h file.
Change the RegisterContextMach_XXX classes over to subclassing their
RegisterContextDarwin_XXX counterparts so we can share the mach register
contexts between the user and kernel plug-ins.
