Windows uses COFF as an object file format and PE/COFF as an executable
file format. They are subtly different and certain elements of a COFF
file may not be present in an executable. Introduce a new plugin to add
support for the COFF object file format which is required to support
loading of modules built with -gmodules. This is motivated by Swift
which serialises debugging information into a PCM which is a COFF object
file.

In the spirit of not having lldbExpression rely on plugins, this move
makes the most sense. ObjectFileJIT is not really a "plugin" in the
sense that without it, expression evaluation doesn't work at all. This
is different than something like ObjectFileELF where lldb can still
technically debug non-ELF targets without it. For that reason, moving
ObjectFileJIT into Expression where it will be used in conjunction with
IRExecutionUnit makes the most sense.

This patch refactors PlaceholderObjectFile into ObjectFile plugin directory
so that we can reuse it for other cases like coredump debugging with NT_FILE
notes.
PlaceholderObjectFile is also renamed to ObjectFilePlaceholder to be consistent
with ObjectFile plugin naming convention.

Introduce a new object and symbol file format with the goal of mapping
addresses to symbol names. I'd like to think of is as an extremely
simple textual symtab. The file format consists of a triple, a UUID and
a list of symbols. JSON is used for the encoding, but that's mostly an
implementation detail. The goal of the format was to be simple and human
readable.
The new file format is motivated by two use cases:
- Stripped binaries: when a binary is stripped, you lose the ability to
do thing like setting symbolic breakpoints. You can keep the
unstripped binary around, but if all you need is the stripped
symbols then that's a lot of overhead. Instead, we could save the
stripped symbols to a file and load them in the debugger when
needed. I want to extend llvm-strip to have a mode where it emits
this new file format.
- Interactive crashlogs: with interactive crashlogs, if we don't have
the binary or the dSYM for a particular module, we currently show an
unnamed symbol for those frames. This is a regression compared to the
textual format, that has these frames pre-symbolicated. Given that
this information is available in the JSON crashlog, we need a way to
tell LLDB about it. With the new symbol file format, we can easily
synthesize a symbol file for each of those modules and load them to
symbolicate those frames.
Here's an example of the file format:
{
"triple": "arm64-apple-macosx13.0.0",
"uuid": "36D0CCE7-8ED2-3CA3-96B0-48C1764DA908",
"symbols": [
{
"name": "main",
"type": "code",
"size": 32,
"address": 4294983568
},
{
"name": "foo",
"type": "code",
"size": 8,
"address": 4294983560
}
]
}

This change adds save-core functionality into the ObjectFileELF that enables
saving minidump of a stopped process. This change is mainly targeting Linux
running on x86_64 machines. Minidump should contain basic information needed
to examine state of threads, local variables and stack traces. Full support
for other platforms is not so far implemented. API tests are using LLDB's
MinidumpParser.
This relands commit aafa05e, reverted in 1f986f6.
Failed tests were fixed.

Summary:
This is the first in a series of patches to enable LLDB debugging of
WebAssembly targets.
Current versions of Clang emit (partial) DWARF debug information in WebAssembly
modules and we can leverage this debug information to give LLDB the ability to
do source-level debugging of Wasm code that runs in a WebAssembly engine.
A way to do this could be to use the remote debugging functionalities provided
by LLDB via the GDB-remote protocol. Remote debugging can indeed be useful not
only to connect a debugger to a process running on a remote machine, but also to
connect the debugger to a managed VM or script engine that runs locally,
provided that the engine implements a GDB-remote stub that offers the ability to
access the engine runtime internal state.
To make this work, the GDB-remote protocol would need to be extended with a few
Wasm-specific custom query commands, used to access aspects of the Wasm engine
state (like the Wasm memory, Wasm local and global variables, and so on).
Furthermore, the DWARF format would need to be enriched with a few Wasm-specific
extensions, here detailed: https://yurydelendik.github.io/webassembly-dwarf.
This CL introduce classes **ObjectFileWasm**, a file plugin to represent a Wasm
module loaded in a debuggee process. It knows how to parse Wasm modules and
store the Code section and the DWARF-specific sections.

This re-commits r348592, which was reverted due to a failing test on
macos.
The issue was that I was passing a null pointer for the
"CreateMemoryInstance" callback when registering ObjectFileBreakpad,
which caused crashes when attemping to load modules from memory. The
correct thing to do is to pass a callback which always returns a null
pointer (as breakpad files are never loaded in inferior memory).
It turns out that there is only one test which exercises this code path,
and it's mac-only, so I've create a new test which should run everywhere
(except windows, as one cannot delete an executable which is being run).
Unfortunately, this test still fails on linux for other reasons, but at
least it gives us something to aim for.
The original commit message was:
This patch adds the scaffolding necessary for lldb to recognise symbol
files generated by breakpad. These (textual) files contain just enough
information to be able to produce a backtrace from a crash
dump. This information includes:
- UUID, architecture and name of the module
- line tables
- list of symbols
- unwind information
A minimal breakpad file could look like this:
MODULE Linux x86_64 0000000024B5D199F0F766FFFFFF5DC30 a.out
INFO CODE_ID 00000000B52499D1F0F766FFFFFF5DC3

Even though this data would normally be considered "symbol" information,
in the current lldb infrastructure it is assumed every SymbolFile object
is backed by an ObjectFile instance. So, in order to better interoperate
with the rest of the code (particularly symbol vendors).
In this patch I just parse the breakpad header, which is enough to
populate the UUID and architecture fields of the ObjectFile interface.
The rough plan for followup patches is to expose the individual parts of
the breakpad file as ObjectFile "sections", which can then be used by
other parts of the codebase (SymbolFileBreakpad ?) to vend the necessary
information.

- generate-vers.pl has to be called by cmake to generate the version number
- parallel builds not yet supported; dependency on clang must be explicitly specified
Tested on Linux.
- Building on Mac will require code-signing logic to be implemented.
- Building on Windows will require OS-detection logic and some selective directory inclusion
