The main issues were:
- Listeners recently were converted over to used by getting a shared pointer to a listener. And when they listened to broadcasters they would get a strong reference added to them meaning the listeners would never go away. This caused memory usage to increase and would cause performance issue if many steps were done.
- The lldb_private::Process private state thread had an issue where if a "stop" contol signal was attempted to be sent to that thread, it could end up not responding in 2 seconds and end up getting cancelled which might cause us to cancel a thread that had a mutex locked and it would deadlock the test.
This change makes broadcasters hold onto weak references to listeners. It also fixes some bad threading code that had races inside of it by making the m_events_mutex be non-recursive and getting rid of fragile use of a Predicate<bool> to say that new events are available, and replacing it with using the m_events_mutex with a new m_events_condition to control access to the events in a safer way.
The private state thread now uses a safer way to communicate that the control event has been received by the private state thread: it makes a EventDataReceipt instance that it attaches to the event that sends the control to the private state thread and used this to synchronize the fact that the private state thread has received the event instead of using a Predicate<bool> to convey the info. When the signal event is received, it will pull the event off of the queue in the private state thread and cause the EventData::DoOnRemoval() to be called, which will signal that the event has been received. This cleans up the signal delivery notification so it doesn't rely on a member variable of the process class to convey the info.
std::shared_ptr<EventDataReceipt> event_receipt_sp(new EventDataReceipt());
m_private_state_control_broadcaster.BroadcastEvent(signal, event_receipt_sp);

to each other. This should remove some infrequent teardown crashes when the
listener is not the debugger's listener.
Processes now need to take a ListenerSP, not a Listener&.
This required changing over the Process plugin class constructors to take a ListenerSP, instead
of a Listener&. Other than that there should be no functional change.

Summary:
Since this is within the lldb namespace, the compiler tries to
export a symbol for it. Unfortunately, since it is inlined, the
symbol is hidden and this results in a mess of warnings when
building on OS X with cmake.
Moving it to the lldb_private namespace eliminates that problem.

command line driver, including the lldb prompt being output by
editline, the asynchronous process output & error messages, and
asynchronous messages written by target stop-hooks.
As part of this it introduces a new Stream class,
StreamAsynchronousIO. A StreamAsynchronousIO object is created with a
broadcaster, who will eventually broadcast the stream's data for a
listener to handle, and an event type indicating what type of event
the broadcaster will broadcast. When the Write method is called on a
StreamAsynchronousIO object, the data is appended to an internal
string. When the Flush method is called on a StreamAsynchronousIO
object, it broadcasts it's data string and clears the string.
Anything in lldb-core that needs to generate asynchronous output for
the end-user should use the StreamAsynchronousIO objects.
I have also added a new notification type for InputReaders, to let
them know that a asynchronous output has been written. This is to
allow the input readers to, for example, refresh their prompts and
lines, if desired. I added the case statements to all the input
readers to catch this notification, but I haven't added any code for
handling them yet (except to the IOChannel input reader).
