Any time we see the pattern `assertEqual(value, bool)`, we can replace
that with `assert<bool>(value)`. Likewise for `assertNotEqual`.
Technically this relaxes the test a bit, as we may want to make sure
`value` is either `True` or `False`, and not something that implicitly
converts to a bool. For example, `assertEqual("foo", True)` will fail,
but `assertTrue("foo")` will not. In most cases, this distinction is not
important.
There are two such places that this patch does **not** transform, since
it seems intentional that we want the result to be a bool:

*

Followup to 9c2468821ec51defd09c246fea4a47886fff8c01. I patched `teyit`
with a `visit_assertEqual` node handler to generate this.
This uses [teyit](https://pypi.org/project/teyit/) to modernize asserts,
as recommended by the [unittest release
notes](https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#id3).
For example, `assertTrue(a == b)` is replaced with `assertEqual(a, b)`.
This produces better error messages, e.g. `error: unexpectedly found 1
and 2 to be different` instead of `error: False`.
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.

Add a new "kernel" section with following schema.
```
"kernel": {
"loadAddress"?: decimal | hex string | string decimal
# This is optional. If it's not specified, use default address 0xffffffff81000000.
"file": string
# path to the kernel image
}
```
Here's more details of the diff:
- If "kernel" section exist, it means current tracing mode is //KernelMode//.
- If tracing mode is //KernelMode//, the "processes" section must be empty and the "kernel" and "cpus" section must be provided. This is tested with `TestTraceLoad`.
- "kernel" section is parsed and turned into a new process with a single module which is the kernel image. The kernel process has N fake threads, one for each cpu.

A trace bundle contains many trace files, and, in the case of intel pt, the
largest files are often the context switch traces because they are not
compressed by default. As a way to improve this, I'm adding a --compact option
to the `trace save` command that filters out unwanted processes from the
context switch traces. Eventually we can do the same for intel pt traces as
well.

Eliminate boilerplate of having each test manually assign to `mydir` by calling
`compute_mydir` in lldbtest.py.

As discusses offline with @jj10305, we are updating some naming used throughout the code, specially in the json schema
- traceBuffer -> iptTrace
- core -> cpu

:q!
This diff is massive, but it's because it connects the client with lldb-server
and also ensures that the postmortem case works.
- Flatten the postmortem trace schema. The reason is that the schema has become quite complex due to the new multicore case, which defeats the original purpose of having a schema that could work for every trace plug-in. At this point, it's better that each trace plug-in defines it's own full schema. This means that the only common field is "type".
-- Because of this new approach, I merged the "common" trace load and saving functionalities into the IntelPT one. This simplified the code quite a bit. If we eventually implement another trace plug-in, we can see then what we could reuse.
-- The new schema, which is flattened, has now better comments and is parsed better. A change I did was to disallow hex addresses, because they are a bit error prone. I'm asking now to print the address in decimal.
-- Renamed "intel" to "GenuineIntel" in the schema because that's what you see in /proc/cpuinfo.
- Implemented reading the context switch trace data buffer. I had to do
some refactors to do that cleanly.
-- A major change that I did here was to simplify the perf_event circular buffer reading logic. It was too complex. Maybe the original Intel author had something different in mind.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to read trace.json files with per-core data.
- Implemented all the necessary bits to save to disk per-core trace session.
- Added a test that ensures that parsing and saving to disk works.

Minor fixes needed and now `./bin/lldb-dotest -p TestTrace` passes
correctly.
- There was an incorrect iteration.
- Some error messages changed.
- The way repeat commands are handled changed a bit, so I had to create
a new --continue arg in "thread trace dump instructions" to handle this
correctly.

added new command "process trace save -d <directory>".
-it saves a JSON file as <directory>/trace.json, with the main properties of the trace session.
-it saves binary Intel-pt trace as <directory>/thread_id.trace; each file saves each thread.
-it saves modules to the directory <directory>/modules .
-it only works for live process and it only support Intel-pt right now.
Example:
```
b main
run
process trace start
n
process trace save -d /tmp/mytrace
```
A file named trace.json and xxx.trace should be generated in /tmp/mytrace. To load the trace that was just saved:
```
trace load /tmp/mytrace
thread trace dump instructions
```
You should see the instructions of the trace got printed.
To run a test:
```
cd ~/llvm-sand/build/Release/fbcode-x86_64/toolchain
ninja lldb-dotest
./bin/lldb-dotest -p TestTraceSave
```
