As of SWIG 4.0, __swig_getmethods__ and __swig_setmethods__ are no
longer defined. It appears that there's no need to mess with these
internals, we can simplify define the corresponding properties inline.
Originally I wanted to use the swig extension %attribute and
%attributeref to define properties. However, I couldn't find a way to
add documentation to these attributes. Since we already had the
properties defined inline, we might as well keep them.

Summary:
This patch removes the "//----" frames and "///" leading lines from
docstring comments. We already have code doing transformations like this in
modify-python-lldb.py, but that's a script I'd like to remove. Instead
of running these transformations everytime we run swig, we can just
perform equivalent on its input once.
This patch can be reproduced (e.g. for downstream merges) with the
following "sweet" perl command:
perl -i -p -e 'BEGIN{ $/ = undef;} s:(" *\n) *//-----*\n:\1:gs; s:^( *)/// ?:\1:gsm; s:^ *//------*\n( *\n)?( *"):\2:gsm; s: *$::gsm; s:\n *"\):"):gsm' scripts/interface/*.i
This command produces nearly equivalent python files to those produced
by the relevant code in modify-python-lldb.py. The only difference I
noticed is that here I am slightly more agressive in removing trailing
newlines from docstring comments (the python script seems to leave
newlines in class-level docstrings).

Summary:
Instead of modifying the swig-generated code, just add the appropriate
methods to the interface files in order to get the swig to do the
generation for us.
This is a straight-forward move from the python script to the interface
files. The single class which has nontrivial handling in the script
(SBModule) has been left for a separate patch.
For the cases where I did not find any tests exercising the
iteration/length methods (i.e., no tests failed after I stopped emitting
them), I tried to add basic tests for that functionality.

Summary:
Our python version of the SB API has (the python equivalent of)
operator bool, but the C++ version doesn't.
This is because our python operators are added by modify-python-lldb.py,
which performs postprocessing on the swig-generated interface files.
In this patch, I add the "operator bool" to all SB classes which have an
IsValid method (which is the same logic used by modify-python-lldb.py).
This way, we make the two interfaces more constent, and it allows us to
rely on swig's automatic syntesis of python __nonzero__ methods instead
of doing manual fixups.

Summary:
Swig is perfectly capable of inserting blocks of python code into its
output (and we use those fascilities already), so there's no need for
this to be done in a post-process step.
lldb_iter is a general-purpose utility used from many classes, so I add
it to the main swig file. The other two blocks are tied to a specific
class, so I add it to the interface file of that class.

Summary:
This patch adds support of expression evaluation in a context of some object.
Consider the following example:
```
struct S {
int a = 11;
int b = 12;
};
int main() {
S s;
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
// We have stopped here
return 0;
}
```
This patch allows to do something like that:
```
lldb.frame.FindVariable("s").EvaluateExpression("a + b")
```
and the result will be `33` (not `3`) because fields `a` and `b` of `s` will be
used (not locals `a` and `b`).
This is achieved by replacing of `this` type and object for the expression. This
has some limitations: an expression can be evaluated only for values located in
the debuggee process memory (they must have an address of `eAddressTypeLoad`
type).

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

- if a synthetic child comes from the same hierarchy as its parent object, then it can't be cached by SharedPointer inside the synthetic provider, or it will cause a reference loop;
- but, if a synthetic child is made from whole cloth (e.g. from an expression, a memory region, ...), then it better be cached by SharedPointer, or it will be cleared out and cause an assert() to fail if used at a later point
For most cases of self-rooted synthetic children, we have a flag we set "IsSyntheticChildrenGenerated", but we were not using it to track caching. So, what ended up happening is each provider would set up its own cache, and if it got it wrong, a hard to diagnose crash would ensue
This patch fixes that by centralizing caching in ValueObjectSynthetic - if a provider returns a self-rooted child (as per the flag), then it gets cached centrally by the ValueObject itself
This cache is used only for lifetime management and not later retrieval of child values - a different cache handles that (because we might have a mix of self-rooted and properly nested child values for the same parent, we can't trivially use this lifetime cache for retrieval)
Fixes rdar://26480007

Summary:
Along with this, support for an optional argument to the "num_children"
method of a Python synthetic child provider has also been added. These have
been added with the following use case in mind:
Synthetic child providers currently have a method "has_children" and
"num_children". While the former is good enough to know if there are
children, it does not give any insight into how many children there are.
Though the latter serves this purpose, calculating the number for children
of a data structure could be an O(N) operation if the data structure has N
children. The new method added in this change provide a middle ground.
One can call GetNumChildren(K) to know if a child exists at an index K
which can be as large as the callers tolerance can be. If the caller wants
to know about children beyond K, it can make an other call with 2K. If the
synthetic child provider maintains state about it counting till K
previosly, then the next call is only an O(K) operation. Infact, all
calls made progressively with steps of K will be O(K) operations.

Summary:
Move scripts/Python/interface to scripts/interface so that we
can start making iterative improvements towards sharing the
interface files between multiple languages (each of which would
have their own directory as now).
