[lldb] Retcon SBValue::GetChildAtIndex(synthetic=true) (#140065)
The motivation here is being (un)able to treat pointer values as an
array consistently. This works for pointers to simple/scalar values, but
for aggregates, we get a very surprising result:
- GetChildAtIndex(x, ??, true) returns the `x` child of the zeroth array
member (the one you get by dereferencing the pointer/array) for all `x`
which are smaller than the number of children of that value.
- for other values of `x`, we get `v[x]`, where `v` is treated like a
(C) pointer

This patch reimagines this interface so that the value of `true` always
treats (pointer and array) values as pointers. For `false`, we always
dereference pointers, while in the case of arrays, we only return the
values as far as the array bounds will allow.

This has the potential to break existing code, but I have a suspicion
that code was already broken to begin with, which is why I think this
would be better than introducing a new API and keeping the old (and
surprising) behavior. If our own test coverage is any indication,
breakage should be minimal.

[lldb] Fix TestSBValueSynthetic on windows (#75908)
We don't have a std::vector formatter on windows, so use a custom
formatter in this test to avoid relying on std::vector.

[lldb] Fix a quirk in SBValue::GetDescription (#75793)
The function was using the default version of ValueObject::Dump, which
has a default of using the synthetic-ness of the top-level value for
determining whether to print _all_ values as synthetic. This resulted in
some unusual behavior, where e.g. a std::vector is stringified as
synthetic if its dumped as the top level object, but in its raw form if
it is a member of a struct without a pretty printer.

The SBValue class already has properties which determine whether one
should be looking at the synthetic view of the object (and also whether
to use dynamic types), so it seems more natural to use that.
