The distutils package has been deprecated and was removed from Python
3.12. The migration page [1] advises to use the packaging module
instead. Since Python 3.6 that's vendored into pkg_resources.

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.

Remove the test override of `target.prefer-dynamic-value`.
Previously, the lldb default was `no-dynamic-values`. In rG9aa7e8e9ffbe (in
2015), the default was changed to `no-run-target`, but at that time the tests
were changed to be run with `no-dynamic-value`. I don't know the reasons for
not changing the tests, perhaps to avoid determining which tests to change, and
what about them to change.
Because `no-run-target` is the lldb default, I think it makes sense to make it
the test default too. It puts the test config closer to what's used in
practice.
This change removes the `target.prefer-dynamic-value` override, and for those
tests that failed, they have been updated to explicitly use
`no-dynamic-values`. Future changes could update these tests to use dynamic
values too, or they can be left as is to exercise non-dynamic typing.

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

When using the `script` Python repl, SB objects are printed in a way that gives
the user no information. The simplest example is:
```
(lldb) script lldb.debugger
<lldb.SBDebugger; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'lldb::SBDebugger *' at 0x1097a5de0> >
```
This output comes from the Python repl printing the `repr()` of an object.
None of the SB classes implement `__repr__`, and all print like the above.
However, many (most?, all?) SB classes implement `__str__`. Because they
implement `__str__`, a more detailed output can be had by `print`ing the
object, for example:
```
(lldb) script print(lldb.debugger)
Debugger (instance: "debugger_1", id: 1)
```
For convenience, this change switches all SB classes that implement to
`__str__` to instead implement `__repr__`. **The result is that `str()` and
`repr()` will produce the same output**. This is because `str` calls `__repr__`
for classes that have no `__str__` method.
The benefit being that when writing a `script` invocation, you don't need to
remember to wrap in `print()`. If that isn't enough motivation, consider the
case where your Python expression results in a list of SB objects, in that case
you'd have to `map` or use a list comprehension like `[str(x) for x in <expr>]`
in order to see the details of the objects in the list.
For reference, the docs for `repr` say:
> repr(object)
> Return a string containing a printable representation of an object. For
> many types, this function makes an attempt to return a string that would
> yield an object with the same value when passed to eval(); otherwise, the
> representation is a string enclosed in angle brackets that contains the
> name of the type of the object together with additional information often
> including the name and address of the object. A class can control what this
> function returns for its instances by defining a __repr__() method.
and the docs for `__repr__` say:
> object.__repr__(self)
> Called by the repr() built-in function to compute the “official” string
> representation of an object. If at all possible, this should look like a
> valid Python expression that could be used to recreate an object with the
> same value (given an appropriate environment). If this is not possible, a
> string of the form <...some useful description...> should be returned. The
> return value must be a string object. If a class defines __repr__() but not
> __str__(), then __repr__() is also used when an “informal” string
> representation of instances of that class is required.
>
> This is typically used for debugging, so it is important that the
> representation is information-rich and unambiguous.
Even if it were convenient to construct Python expressions for SB classes so
that they could be `eval`'d, however for typical lldb usage, I can't think of a
motivating reason to do so. As it stands, the only action the docs say to do,
that this change doesn't do, is wrap the `repr` string in `<>` angle brackets.
An alternative implementation is to change lldb's python repl to apply `str()`
to the top level result. While this would work well in the case of a single SB
object, it doesn't work for a list of SB objects, since `str([x])` uses `repr`
to convert each list element to a string.

This patch allows skipping a test based on a default setting, which is
useful when running the testsuite in different "modes" based on a
default setting. This is a feature I need for the Swift testsuite, but
I think it's generally useful.

Summary: Moves lldbsuite tests to lldb/test/API.
This is a largely mechanical change, moved with the following steps:
```
rm lldb/test/API/testcases
mkdir -p lldb/test/API/{test_runner/test,tools/lldb-{server,vscode}}
mv lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/test_runner/test lldb/test/API/test_runner
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | egrep -v "make|plugins|test_runner|tools"); do mv $d lldb/test/API; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-vscode -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | grep -v ".py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-vscode; done
for d in $(find lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/tools/lldb-server -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 | egrep -v "gdbremote_testcase.py|lldbgdbserverutils.py|socket_packet_pump.py"); do mv $d lldb/test/API/tools/lldb-server; done
```
lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/__init__.py and lldb/test/API/lit.cfg.py were also updated with the new directory structure.
