Add a scripted way to re-present a stop location (#158128)
This patch adds the notion of "Facade" locations which can be reported
from a ScriptedResolver instead of the actual underlying breakpoint
location for the breakpoint. Also add a "was_hit" method to the scripted
resolver that allows the breakpoint to say which of these "Facade"
locations was hit, and "get_location_description" to provide a
description for the facade locations.

I apologize in advance for the size of the patch. Almost all of what's
here was necessary to (a) make the feature testable and (b) not break
any of the current behavior.

The motivation for this feature is given in the "Providing Facade
Locations" section that I added to the python-reference.rst so I won't
repeat it here.

[lldb/docs] Breakdown python reference into multiple files (#158331)
This pages improve the LLDB website documentation readability and
discoverability by breaking down the very long python-reference page
into multiple subpages each explaining a specific topic.

The long term goal is to have tutorials for every scripting extension.

This also converts the pages to markdown, since it's easier to write.

[lldb] Update examples in docs/use/python-reference.rst to work with Python 3 (#134204)
The examples on this page were using the Python 2-style print. I ran the
updated code examples under Python 3 to confirm they are still
up-to-date.

Add the ability to define custom completers to the parsed_cmd template. (#109062)
If your arguments or option values are of a type that naturally uses one
of our common completion mechanisms, you will get completion for free.
But if you have your own custom values or if you want to do fancy things
like have `break set -s foo.dylib -n ba<TAB>` only complete on symbols
in foo.dylib, you can use this new mechanism to achieve that.

Add docs and an example use of the scripted command get_flags API. (#109176)
The API is present, and we even have a test for it, but it isn't
documented so no one probably knows you can set requirements for your
scripted commands. This just adds docs and uses it appropriately in the
`framestats` example command.

Add the ability for Script based commands to specify their "repeat command" (#94823)
Among other things, returning an empty string as the repeat command
disables auto-repeat, which can be useful for state-changing commands.

There's one remaining refinement to this setup, which is that for parsed
script commands, it should be possible to change an option value, or add
a new option value that wasn't originally specified, then ask lldb "make
this back into a command string". That would make doing fancy things
with repeat commands easier.

That capability isn't present in the lldb_private side either, however.
So that's for a next iteration.

I haven't added this to the docs on adding commands yet. I wanted to
make sure this was an acceptable approach before I spend the time to do
that.

6a2552a141 [lldb/infra] Revamp lldb.llvm.org
This patch brings a fresh coat of paint to the LLDB website.

This uses the `furo` theme from the suggested theme list, adds some
changes to the css to make it use the full browser window width and
removes the table of contents since the theme generates it automatically.

This patch also rewrites the tables for "GDB to LLDB command map" to
convert them from raw HTML to native inlined code blocks.

To generate the website, make sure you install the theme first with
`pip install furo`, enable sphinx in the cmake invocation` then run
`ninja docs-lldb-html`

[lldb] Fixed a number of typos
I went over the output of the following mess of a command:

  (ulimit -m 2000000; ulimit -v 2000000; git ls-files -z | parallel
  --xargs -0 cat | aspell list --mode=none --ignore-case | grep -E
  '^[A-Za-z][a-z]*$' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | grep -vE '.{25}' |
  aspell pipe -W3 | grep : | cut -d' ' -f2 | less)

and proceeded to spend a few days looking at it to find probable typos
and fixed a few hundred of them in all of the llvm project (note, the
ones I found are not anywhere near all of them, but it seems like a
good start).

1441ffe6a6 [lldb] Use __lldb_init_module instead of "if lldb.debugger" idiom
Update examples and docs to demonstrate using `__lldb_init_module` instead of
the idiom that checks for `lldb.debugger` at the top-level.

```
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ...
elif lldb.debugger:
    ...
```

Is replaced with:

```
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ...

def __lldb_init_module(debugger, internal_dict):
    ...
```

This change is for two reasons. First, it's generally encouraged not to only
use the convenience singletons (`lldb.{debugger,process,target,etc}`)
interactively from the `script` command. Second, there's a bug where
registering a python class as a command (using `command script add -c ...`),
result in the command not being runnable. Note that registering function-backed
commands does not have this bug.

51ab17b91d [lldb][docs] Fix reference warnings in python-reference.rst
References with a single '`' around them are interpreted as references instead
of text with monospaced font since the introduction of the new Python API
generator. This meant that all the single-quoted code in this document that
doesn't reference any Python class was throwing sphinx errors. This just adds
the neede extra ` around this code and fixed up the legitimate typos
(e.g. `SBframe` -> `SBFrame`).

f46a441b1c [lldb] Extend Python convenience variable table with equivalent APIs
Add a column to the table of convenience variables with the equivalent
API to get to the current debugger, target, process, etc.

We often get asked to make convenience variables available outside of
the interactive interpreter. After explaining why that's not possible, a
common complaint is that it's hard to find out how to get to these
variables in a non-interactive context, for example how to get to the
current frame when given a thread. This patch aims to alleviate that by
including the APIs to navigate between these instances in the table.

I fixed a return type error in the original patch that was causing a test failure.
Also added a REQUIRES: python to the shell test so we'll skip this for
people who build lldb w/o Python.
Also added another test for the error printing.
