On Ubuntu 18.04 with GCC 7.5 Intel trace code fails to build due to
failure to convert from
lldb_private::process_linux::IntelPTPerThreadProcessTraceUP to
Expected<lldb_private::process_linux::IntelPTPerThreadProcessTraceUP>.
This commit explicitely marks those unique_ptr values as being moved
which fixes the conversion error.

IntelPTCollector is very big and has 3 classes in it. It's actually cleaner if each one has its own file. This also gives more visibility to the developer about the different kinds of "tracers" that we have.
Besides that, I'm now restricting the creation of the BinaryData chunks to GetState() instead of having it in different places, which is not very clean, because the gdb-remote protocol should be as restricted as possible.

When tracing on per-core mode, we are tracing all processes, which means
that after hitting a breakpoint, our process will stop running (thus
producing no more tracing data) but other processes will continue
writing to our trace buffers. This causes a big data loss for our trace.
As a way to remediate this, I'm adding some logic to pause and unpause
tracing based on the target's state. The earlier we do it the better,
however, I'm not adding the trigger at the earliest possible point for
simplicity of this diff. Later we can improve that part.

This diffs implements per-core tracing on lldb-server. It also includes tests that ensure that tracing can be initiated from the client and that the jLLDBGetState ppacket returns the list of trace buffers per core.
This doesn't include any decoder changes.
Finally, this makes some little changes here and there improving the existing code.
A specific piece of code that can't reliably be tested is when tracing
per core fails due to permissions. In this case we add a
troubleshooting message and this is the manual test:
```
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid set to 1
(lldb) process trace start --per-core-tracing error: perf event syscall failed: Permission denied
You might need that /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid has a value of 0 or -1.

llvm's json parser supports uint64_t, so let's better use it for the
packets being sent between lldb and lldb-server instead of using int64_t
as an intermediate type, which might be error-prone.

I'm refactoring IntelPTThreadTrace into IntelPTSingleBufferTrace so that it can
both single threads or single cores. In this diff I'm basically renaming the
class, moving it to its own file, and removing all the pieces that are not used
along with some basic cleanup.

This updates the documentation of the gdb-remote protocol, as well as the help messages, to include the new --per-core-tracing option.

In order to open perf events per core, we need to first get the list of
core ids available in the system. So I'm adding a function that does
that by parsing /proc/cpuinfo. That seems to be the simplest and most
portable way to do that.
Besides that, I made a few refactors and renames to reflect better that
the cpu info that we use in lldb-server comes from procfs.

Update the response schema of the TraceGetState packet and add
Intel PT specific response structure that contains the TSC conversion,
if it exists. The IntelPTCollector loads the TSC conversion and caches
it to prevent unnecessary calls to perf_event_open. Move the TSC conversion
calculation from Perf.h to TraceIntelPTGDBRemotePackets.h to remove
dependency on Linux specific headers.
