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.

The ClangExpressionVariable::CreateVariableInList functions looked cute, but
caused more confusion than they solved. I removed them, and instead made sure
that there are adequate facilities for easily adding newly-constructed
ExpressionVariables to lists.
I also made some of the constructors that are common be generic, so that it's
possible to construct expression variables from generic places (like the ABI and
ValueObject) without having to know the specifics about the class.

Also added some target-level search functions so that persistent variables and
symbols can be searched for without hand-iterating across the map of
TypeSystems.

the corresponding TypeSystem. This makes sense because what kind of data there
is -- and how it can be looked up -- depends on the language.
Functionality that is common to all type systems is factored out into
PersistentExpressionState.

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).

As part of our overall switch from hand-rolling RTTI to using LLVM-compatible
methods, I've done the same for ExpressionVariable. The main documentation for
how to do this is in TypeSystem.h, so I've simply referred to that.

stores information about a variable that different parts of LLDB use, from the
compiler-specific portion that only the expression parser cares about.

Summary:
This doesn't exist in other LLVM projects any longer and doesn't
do anything.

Clang-specific part, create the ExpressionVariable source/header file and
move ClangExpressionVariable into the Clang expression parser plugin.
It is expected that there are some ugly #include paths... these will be resolved
by either (1) making that code use generic expression variables (once they're
separated appropriately) or (2) moving that code into a plug-in, often
the expression parser plug-in.
