This changes Python API tests to use a single build shared across all
test functions, instead of the previous default behavior of a separate
build dir for each test function.
This build behavior opt-out, tests can use the previous behavior of one
individual (unshared) build directory per test function, by setting
`SHARED_BUILD_TESTCASE` to False (in the test class).
The motivation is to make the test suite more efficient, by not
repeatedly building the same test source. When running tests on my macOS
machine, this reduces the time of `ninja check-lldb-api` by almost 60%
(sample numbers: from ~492s down to ~207s = 58%). Almost 5min time
saved.
Each test function still calls `self.build()`, but only the first call
will do a build, in the subsequent tests `make` will be a no-op because
the sources won't have changed.
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.

This patch add the ability to cache the manual DWARF indexing results to disk for faster subsequent debug sessions. Manual DWARF indexing is time consuming and causes all DWARF to be fully parsed and indexed each time you debug a binary that doesn't have an acceptable accelerator table. Acceptable accelerator tables include .debug_names in DWARF5 or Apple accelerator tables.
This patch breaks up testing by testing all of the encoding and decoding of required C++ objects in a gtest unit test, and then has a test to verify the debug info cache is generated correctly.
This patch also adds the ability to track when a symbol table or DWARF index is loaded or saved to the cache in the "statistics dump" command. This is essential to know in statistics as it can help explain why a debug session was slower or faster than expected.
