When debugging using Fission (-gsplit-dwarf), we can sometimes have issues loading .dwo files if they are missing or if the path was relative and we were unable to locate the file. We can also skip loading due to DWO ID mismatch or if a .dwp file doesn't contain a matching .dwo file. Also .dwo files could be updated due to a recompile and if the user debugs an executable that was linked against the old .dwo file, it could fail to load the information.
This patch adds a m_dwo_error to DWARFUnit that can be get/set and will cause "frame variable" to show errors when there are .dwo/.dwp issues informing the user about the error.

Summary:
Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.
Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.
This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:
lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();
object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.
This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.
It also now shows an error in response to "frame variable" if we have debug info and are unable to get varialbes due to an error as mentioned above:
(lldb) frame variable
error: "a.o" object from the "/tmp/libfoo.a" archive: either the .o file doesn't exist in the archive or the modification time (0x63111541) of the .o file doesn't match

Eliminate boilerplate of having each test manually assign to `mydir` by calling
`compute_mydir` in lldbtest.py.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D128077
At the moment nearly every test calls something similar to
`self.dbg.CreateTarget(self.getBuildArtifact("a.out"))` and them sometimes
checks if the created target is actually valid with something like
`self.assertTrue(target.IsValid(), "some useless text")`.
Beside being really verbose the error messages generated by this pattern are
always just indicating that the target failed to be created but now why.
This patch introduces a helper function `createTestTarget` to our Test class
that creates the target with the much more verbose `CreateTarget` overload that
gives us back an SBError (with a fancy error). If the target couldn't be created
the function prints out the SBError that LLDB returned and asserts for us. It
also defaults to the "a.out" build artifact path that nearly all tests are using
to avoid to hardcode "a.out" in every test.
I converted a bunch of tests to the new function but I'll do the rest of the
test suite as follow ups.

Summary:
The error message from the construct `assertTrue(a == b, "msg") ` are nearly always completely useless for actually debugging the issue.
This patch is just replacing this construct (and similar ones like `assertTrue(a != b, ...)` with the proper call to assertEqual or assertNotEquals.
This patch was mostly written by a shell script with some manual verification afterwards:
```
lang=python
import sys
def sanitize_line(line):
if line.strip().startswith("self.assertTrue(") and " == " in line:
line = line.replace("self.assertTrue(", "self.assertEquals(")
line = line.replace(" == ", ", ", 1)
if line.strip().startswith("self.assertTrue(") and " != " in line:
line = line.replace("self.assertTrue(", "self.assertNotEqual(")
line = line.replace(" != ", ", ", 1)
return line
for a in sys.argv[1:]:
with open(a, "r") as f:
lines = f.readlines()
with open(a, "w") as f:
for line in lines:
f.write(sanitize_line(line))
```

Summary: Moves lldbsuite tests to lldb/test/API.
This is a largely mechanical change, moved with the following steps:
```
rm lldb/test/API/testcases
mkdir -p lldb/test/API/{test_runner/test,tools/lldb-{server,vscode}}
mv lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/test_runner/test lldb/test/API/test_runner
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | egrep -v "make|plugins|test_runner|tools"); do mv $d lldb/test/API; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-vscode -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | grep -v ".py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-vscode; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-server -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | egrep -v "gdbremote_testcase.py|lldbgdbserverutils.py|socket_packet_pump.py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-server; done
```
lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/__init__.py and lldb/test/API/lit.cfg.py were also updated with the new directory structure.
