This is an ongoing series of commits that are reformatting our Python
code. Reformatting is done with `black` (23.1.0).
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you have made
changes to a python file, the best way to handle that is to run `git
checkout --ours <yourfile>` and then reformat it with black.

Eliminate boilerplate of having each test manually assign to `mydir` by calling
`compute_mydir` in lldbtest.py.

LLDB has a bunch of code that implements REPL support, but all that code is
unreachable as no language in master currently has an implemented REPL backend.
The only REPL that exists is in the downstream Swift fork. All patches for this
generic REPL code therefore also only have tests downstream which is clearly not
a good situation.
This patch implements a basic C language REPL on top of LLDB's REPL framework.
Beside implementing the REPL interface and hooking it up into the plugin
manager, the only other small part of this patch is making the `--language` flag
of the expression command compatible with the `--repl` flag. The `--repl` flag
uses the value of `--language` to see which REPL should be started, but right
now the `--language` flag is only available in OptionGroups 1 and 2, but not in
OptionGroup 3 where the `--repl` flag is declared.
The REPL currently can currently only start if a running target exists. I'll add
the 'create and run a dummy executable' logic from Swift (which is requires when
doing `lldb --repl`) when I have time to translate all this logic to something
that will work with Clang.
I should point out that the REPL currently uses the C expression parser's
approach to persistent variables where only result variables and the ones
starting with a '$' are transferred between expressions. I'll fix that in a
follow up patch. Also the REPL currently doesn't work in a non-interactive
terminal. This seems to be fixed in the Swift fork, so I assume one of our many
REPL downstream changes addresses the issue.
