Change GetNumChildren()/CalculateNumChildren() methods return
llvm::Expected
This is an NFC change that does not yet add any error handling or change
any code to return any errors.
This is the second big change in the patch series started with
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/83501
A follow-up PR will wire up error handling.

Add the ability to get a C++ vtable ValueObject from another
ValueObject.
This patch adds the ability to ask a ValueObject for a ValueObject that
represents the virtual function table for a C++ class. If the
ValueObject is not a C++ class with a vtable, a valid ValueObject value
will be returned that contains an appropriate error. If it is successful
a valid ValueObject that represents vtable will be returned. The
ValueObject that is returned will have a name that matches the demangled
value for a C++ vtable mangled name like "vtable for <class-name>". It
will have N children, one for each virtual function pointer. Each
child's value is the function pointer itself, the summary is the
symbolication of this function pointer, and the type will be a valid
function pointer from the debug info if there is debug information
corresponding to the virtual function pointer.
The vtable SBValue will have the following:
- SBValue::GetName() returns "vtable for <class>"
- SBValue::GetValue() returns a string representation of the vtable
address
- SBValue::GetSummary() returns NULL
- SBValue::GetType() returns a type appropriate for a uintptr_t type for
the current process
- SBValue::GetLoadAddress() returns the address of the vtable adderess
- SBValue::GetValueAsUnsigned(...) returns the vtable address
- SBValue::GetNumChildren() returns the number of virtual function
pointers in the vtable
- SBValue::GetChildAtIndex(...) returns a SBValue that represents a
virtual function pointer
The child SBValue objects that represent a virtual function pointer has
the following values:
- SBValue::GetName() returns "[%u]" where %u is the vtable function
pointer index
- SBValue::GetValue() returns a string representation of the virtual
function pointer
- SBValue::GetSummary() returns a symbolicated respresentation of the
virtual function pointer
- SBValue::GetType() returns the function prototype type if there is
debug info, or a generic funtion prototype if there is no debug info
- SBValue::GetLoadAddress() returns the address of the virtual function
pointer
- SBValue::GetValueAsUnsigned(...) returns the virtual function pointer
- SBValue::GetNumChildren() returns 0
- SBValue::GetChildAtIndex(...) returns invalid SBValue for any index
Examples of using this API via python:
```
(lldb) script vtable = lldb.frame.FindVariable("shape_ptr").GetVTable()
(lldb) script vtable
vtable for Shape = 0x0000000100004088 {
[0] = 0x0000000100003d20 a.out`Shape::~Shape() at main.cpp:3
[1] = 0x0000000100003e4c a.out`Shape::~Shape() at main.cpp:3
[2] = 0x0000000100003e7c a.out`Shape::area() at main.cpp:4
[3] = 0x0000000100003e3c a.out`Shape::optional() at main.cpp:7
}
(lldb) script c = vtable.GetChildAtIndex(0)
(lldb) script c
(void ()) [0] = 0x0000000100003d20 a.out`Shape::~Shape() at main.cpp:3
```
