StructuredDataImpl ownership semantics is unclear at best. Various
structures were holding a non-owning pointer to it, with a comment that
the object is owned somewhere else. From what I was able to gather that
"somewhere else" was the SBStructuredData object, but I am not sure that
all created object eventually made its way there. (It wouldn't matter
even if they did, as we are leaking most of our SBStructuredData
objects.)
Since StructuredDataImpl is just a collection of two (shared) pointers,
there's really no point in elaborate lifetime management, so this patch
replaces all StructuredDataImpl pointers with actual objects or
unique_ptrs to it. This makes it much easier to resolve SBStructuredData
leaks in a follow-up patch.

The LLDBSWIGPython functions had (at least) two problems:
- There wasn't a single source of truth (a header file) for the
prototypes of these functions. This meant that subtle differences
in copies of function declarations could go by undetected. And
not-so-subtle differences would result in strange runtime failures.
- All of the declarations had to have an extern "C" interface, because
the function definitions were being placed inside and extert "C" block
generated by swig.
This patch fixes both problems by moving the function definitions to the
%header block of the swig files. This block is not surrounded by extern
"C", and seems more appropriate anyway, as swig docs say it is meant for
"user-defined support code" (whereas the previous %wrapper code was for
automatically-generated wrappers).
It also puts the declarations into the SWIGPythonBridge header file
(which seems to have been created for this purpose), and ensures it is
included by all code wishing to define or use these functions. This
means that any differences in the declaration become a compiler error
instead of a runtime failure.

Using an lldb_private object in the bindings involves three steps
- wrapping the object in it's lldb::SB variant
- using swig to convert/wrap that to a PyObject
- wrapping *that* in a lldb_private::python::PythonObject
Our SBTypeToSWIGWrapper was only handling the middle part. This doesn't
just result in increased boilerplate in the callers, but is also a
functionality problem, as it's very hard to get the lifetime of of all
of these objects right. Most of the callers are creating the SB object
(step 1) on the stack, which means that we end up with dangling python
objects after the function terminates. Most of the time this isn't a
problem, because the python code does not need to persist the objects.
However, there are legitimate cases where they can do it (and even if
the use case is not completely legitimate, crashing is not the best
response to that).
For this reason, some of our code creates the SB object on the heap, but
it has another problem -- it never gets cleaned up.
This patch begins to add a new function (ToSWIGWrapper), which does all
of the three steps, while properly taking care of ownership. In the
first step, I have converted most of the leaky code (except for
SBStructuredData, which needs a bit more work).

This file was way more complicated than it needed to be.
This patch removes the automagic reference-to-pointer delegation and
replaces the template specializations with regular free functions
(taking reference arguments).
The reason I chose references is twofold:
- there are more arguments being passed by reference than by pointer
- the reference arguments make it more obvious that there is a lot of
leaking going on in there.
Currently, the code was assuming that the pointer arguments have some
kind of a special meaning and that pointer functions take ownership of
their arguments, which isn't true (it's possible it was true at some
point in the past, I haven't done the archeology).
This makes it easier to implement proper lifetime management in
follow-up patches.

This patch changes the `ScriptedThread` initializer in couple of ways:
- It replaces the `SBTarget` parameter by a `SBProcess` (pointing to the
`ScriptedProcess` that "owns" the `ScriptedThread`).
- It adds a reference to the `ScriptedProcessInfo` Dictionary, to pass
arbitrary user-input to the `ScriptedThread`.
This patch also fixes the SWIG bindings methods that call the
`ScriptedProcess` and `ScriptedThread` initializers by passing all the
arguments to the appropriate `PythonCallable` object.

This patch adds support for memory regions in Scripted Processes.
This is necessary to read the stack memory region in order to
reconstruct each stackframe of the program.
In order to do so, this patch makes some changes to the SBAPI, namely:
- Add a new constructor for `SBMemoryRegionInfo` that takes arguments
such as the memory region name, address range, permissions ...
This is used when reading memory at some address to compute the offset
in the binary blob provided by the user.
- Add a `GetMemoryRegionContainingAddress` method to `SBMemoryRegionInfoList`
to simplify the access to a specific memory region.
With these changes, lldb is now able to unwind the stack and reconstruct
each frame. On top of that, reloading the target module at offset 0 allows
lldb to symbolicate the `ScriptedProcess` using debug info, similarly to an
ordinary Process.
To test this, I wrote a simple program with multiple function calls, ran it in
lldb, stopped at a leaf function and read the registers values and copied
the stack memory into a binary file. These are then used in the python script.

This patch introduces the `ScriptedThread` class with its python
interface.
When used with `ScriptedProcess`, `ScriptedThreaad` can provide various
information such as the thread state, stop reason or even its register
context.
This can be used to reconstruct the program stack frames using lldb's unwinder.

This patch splits the previous `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface` into
multiple specific classes:
1. The `ScriptedInterface` abstract class that carries the interface
instance object and its virtual pure abstract creation method.
2. The `ScriptedPythonInterface` that holds a generic `Dispatch` method that
can be used by various interfaces to call python methods and also keeps a
reference to the Python Script Interpreter instance.
3. The `ScriptedProcessInterface` that describes the base Scripted
Process model with all the methods used in the underlying script.
All these components are used to refactor the `ScriptedProcessPythonInterface`
class, making it more modular.
This patch is also a requirement for the upcoming work on `ScriptedThread`.

This patch adds a ScriptedProcess interface to the ScriptInterpreter and
more specifically, to the ScriptInterpreterPython.
This interface will be used in the C++ `ScriptProcess` Process Plugin to
call the script methods.
At the moment, not all methods are implemented, they will upstreamed in
upcoming patches.
This patch also adds helper methods to the ScriptInterpreter to
convert `SBAPI` Types (SBData & SBError) to `lldb_private` types
(DataExtractor & Status).

Ignore `-Wreturn-type-c-linkage` diagnostics for `LLDBSwigPythonBreakpointCallbackFunction`.
The function is defined in `python-wrapper.swig` which uses `extern "C" { ... }` blocks.
The declaration of this function in `ScriptInterpreterPython.cpp` already uses these
same pragmas to silence the warning there.
This prevents `-Werror` builds from failing.

This reverts commit f775fe59640a2e837ad059a8f40e26989d4f9831.
I fixed a return type error in the original patch that was causing a test failure.
Also added a REQUIRES: python to the shell test so we'll skip this for
people who build lldb w/o Python.
Also added another test for the error printing.
This was reverted due to a python2-specific bug. Re-landing with a fix
for python2.

All the code required to generate the language bindings for Python and
Lua lives under scripts, even though the majority of this code aren't
scripts at all, and surrounded by scripts that are totally unrelated.
I've reorganized these files and moved everything related to the
language bindings into a new top-level directory named bindings. This
makes the corresponding files self contained and much more discoverable.
