This patch introduces a small new utility (lldb-repro) to transparently
capture and replay debugger sessions through the command line driver.
Its used to test the reproducers by running the test suite twice.
During the first run, it captures a reproducer for every lldb invocation
and saves it to a well-know location derived from the arguments and
current working directory. During the second run, the test suite is run
again but this time every invocation of lldb replays the previously
recorded session.

Make it possible to override reproducer capture with the
LLDB_CAPTURE_REPRODUCER environment variable.
The goal of this change is twofold.
(1) I want to be able to enable capturing reproducers during regular
test runs, both locally and on the bots. To do so I need a way to
force capture. I cannot do this through the Python API, because
reproducer capture must be enabled *before* the debugger
initialized, which happens automatically when doing `import lldb`.
(2) I want to provide an escape hatch for when reproducers are enabled
by default. Downstream we have reproducer capture enabled by default
in the driver.
This patch solves both problems by overriding the reproducer mode based
on the environment variable. Acceptable values are 0/1 and ON/OFF.
For some reason the reproducer tests seem really proficient at
uncovering structural issues in LLDB related to how we tear down things,
but of course only on the bots.
The pretty stack trace helps a bit, but what I really want is the crash
reports which contain much more information, such as what other threads
we doing.
Crash reports are automatically suppressed by lit. This patch
(temporarily) disables that for the reproducer tests.
