This patch adds plumbing to support the implementations of StackFrame::Get{*}Variable{*} on ScriptedFrame. The major pieces required are:
- A modification to ScriptedFrameInterface, so that we can actually call the python methods.
- A corresponding update to the python implementation to call the python methods.
- An implementation in ScriptedFrame that can get the variable list on construction inside ScriptedFrame::Create, and pass that list into the ScriptedFrame so it can get those values on request.
There is a major caveat, which is that if the values from the python side don't have variables attached, right now, they won't be passed into the scripted frame to be stored in the variable list. Future discussions around adding support for 'extended variables' when printing frame variables may create a reason to change the VariableListSP into a ValueObjectListSP, and generate the VariableListSP on the fly, but that should be addressed at a later time.
This patch also adds tests to the frame provider test suite to prove these changes all plumb together correctly.

This patch introduces a new scripting affordance in lldb:
`ScriptedFrame`.
This allows user to produce mock stackframes in scripted threads and
scripted processes from a python script.
With this change, StackFrame can be synthetized from different sources:
- Either from a dictionary containing a load address, and a frame index,
which is the legacy way.
- Or by creating a ScriptedFrame python object.
One particularity of synthezising stackframes from the ScriptedFrame
python object, is that these frame have an optional PC, meaning that
they don't have a report a valid PC and they can act as shells that just
contain static information, like the frame function name, the list of
variables or registers, etc. It can also provide a symbol context.
