Partly, there's just a lot of unnecessary boiler plate. It's also
possible to define combinations of arguments that make no sense (e.g.
eArgRepeatPlus followed by eArgRepeatPlain...) but these are never
checked since we just push_back directly into the argument definitions.
This commit is step 1 of this cleanup - do the obvious stuff. In it, all
the simple homogenous argument lists and the breakpoint/watchpoint
ID/Range types, are set with common functions. This is an NFC change, it
just centralizes boiler plate. There's no checking yet because you can't
get a single argument wrong.
The end goal is that all argument definition goes through functions and
m_arguments is hidden so that you can't define inconsistent argument
sets.
[lldb] Part 2 of 2 - Refactor `CommandObject::DoExecute(...)` to return
`void` instead of ~~`bool`~~
Justifications:
- The code doesn't ultimately apply the `true`/`false` return values.
- The methods already pass around a `CommandReturnObject`, typically
with a `result` parameter.
- Each command return object already contains:
- A more precise status
- The error code(s) that apply to that status
Part 1 refactors the `CommandObject::Execute(...)` method.

https://reviews.llvm.org/D128453 recently added some safety checks for
command arguments. Unfortunately, some few commands started failing due
to that, and this diff fixes it. But fortunately, the fix is trivial, which is
simply declaring the argument that these commands will receive.

This is currently being done in an ad hoc way, and so for some
commands it isn't being checked. We have the info to make this check,
since commands are supposed to add their arguments to the m_arguments
field of the CommandObject. This change uses that info to check whether
the command received arguments in error.
A handful of commands weren't defining their argument types, I also had
to fix them. And a bunch of commands were checking for arguments by
hand, so I removed those checks in favor of the CommandObject one. That
also meant I had to change some tests that were checking for the ad hoc
error outputs.

This is part 2, covering the commands source.
Some uses remain where it's tricky to see what the
logic is or they are not used with AppendError.

This implements the interactive trace start and stop methods.
This diff ended up being much larger than I anticipated because, by doing it, I found that I had implemented in the beginning many things in a non optimal way. In any case, the code is much better now.
There's a lot of boilerplate code due to the gdb-remote protocol, but the main changes are:
- New tracing packets: jLLDBTraceStop, jLLDBTraceStart, jLLDBTraceGetBinaryData. The gdb-remote packet definitions are quite comprehensive.
- Implementation of the "process trace start|stop" and "thread trace start|stop" commands.
- Implementaiton of an API in Trace.h to interact with live traces.
- Created an IntelPTDecoder for live threads, that use the debugger's stop id as checkpoint for its internal cache.
- Added a functionality to stop the process in case "process tracing" is enabled and a new thread can't traced.
- Added tests
I have some ideas to unify the code paths for post mortem and live threads, but I'll do that in another diff.

Depends on D90490.
The stop command is simple and invokes the new method Trace::StopTracingThread(thread).
On the other hand, the start command works by delegating its implementation to a CommandObject provided by the Trace plugin. This is necessary because each trace plugin needs different options for this command. There's even the chance that a Trace plugin can't support live tracing, but instead supports offline decoding and analysis, which means that "thread trace dump instructions" works but "thread trace start" doest. Because of this and a few other reasons, it's better to have each plugin provide this implementation.
Besides, I'm using the GetSupportedTraceType method introduced in D90490 to quickly infer what's the trace plug-in that works for the current process.
As an implementation note, I moved CommandObjectIterateOverThreads to its header so that I can use it from the IntelPT plugin. Besides, the actual start and stop logic for intel-pt is not part of this diff.
