This patch re-lands f0731d5b61ba with more fixes and improvements.
First, this patch removes `__eq__` implementations from classes that
didn't implemented `operator!=` on the C++ implementation.
This patch removes sphinx document generation for special members such
as `__len__`, since there is no straightforward way to skip class that
don't implement them. We also don't want to introduce a change in
behavior by implementing artifical special members for classes that are
missing them.
Finally, this patch improve the ergonomics of some classes by
implementing special members where it makes sense, i.e. `hex(SBFrame)`
is equivalent to `SBFrame.GetPC()`.

This changes were introduced to silence the warnings that are printed
when generating the lldb module documentation for the website but it
changed the python bindings and causes test failures on the macos bot:
https://green.lab.llvm.org/green/job/lldb-cmake/59438/
We will have to consider other options to silence these warnings.
This reverts commit 18f1c1ace7a6099f3e8e56cf4b81aa0f64a7dd23 and fix the
build failure issues introduced because of the `STRING_EXTENSION_OUTSIDE`
swig macros.

This patch does various things to silence the warnings that show up when
generating the website documentation.
First, this patch adds the missing definition for special member methods
in every SBAPI class. If the class cannot implement one of the special
member method, we just define it as a null operation (pass).
This should fix the following warnings:
```
WARNING: missing attribute __int__ in object lldb.SB*
WARNING: missing attribute __len__ in object lldb.SB*
WARNING: missing attribute __hex__ in object lldb.SB*
WARNING: missing attribute __oct__ in object lldb.SB*
WARNING: missing attribute __iter__ in object lldb.SB*
```
Then, it un-skips the various `static` methods that we didn't generate
the methods for, since it's not necessary thanks to the automod-api module.
Finally, this comments out the `_static` directory in the sphinx config,
since we don't need it anymore.

The build server should now have the missing dependencies.
Original summary:
Currently LLDB uses epydoc to generate the Python API reference for the website.
epydoc however is unmaintained since more than a decade and no longer works with
Python 3. Also whatever setup we had once for generating the documentation on
the website server no longer seems to work, so the current website documentation
has been stale since more than a year.
This patch replaces epydoc with sphinx and its automodapi plugin that can
generate Python API references. LLVM already uses sphinx for the rest of the
documentation, so this way we are more consistent with the rest of LLVM. The
only new dependency is the automodapi plugin for sphinx.
This patch effectively does the following things:
* Remove the epydoc code.
* Make a new dummy Python API page in our website that just calls the Sphinx
command for generated the API documentation.
* Add a mock _lldb module that is only used when generating the Python API.
This way we don't have to build all of LLDB to generate the API reference.
Some notes:
* The long list of skips is necessary due to boilerplate functions that SWIG
is generating. Sadly automodapi is not really scriptable from what I can see,
so we have to blacklist this stuff manually.
* The .gitignore change because automodapi wants a subfolder of our
documentation directory to place generated documentation files there. The path
is also what is used on the website, so we can't really workaround this
(without copying the whole `docs` dir somewhere else when we build).
* We have to use environment variables to pass our build path to our sphinx
configuration. Sphinx doesn't support passing variables onto that script.
