LLDB breakpoint conditions take an expression that's evaluated using the
language of the code where the breakpoint is located. Users have asked
to have an option to tell it to evaluate the expression in a specific
language.
This is feature is especially helpful for Swift, for example for a
condition based on the value in memory at an offset from a register.
Such a condition is pretty difficult to write in Swift, but easy in C.
This PR adds a new argument (-Y) to specify the language of the
condition expression. We can't reuse the current -L option, since you
might want to break on only Swift symbols, but run a C expression there
as per the example above.

This adds SBBreakpoint::SetIsHardware, allowing clients to mark an
existing breakpoint as a hardware breakpoint purely through the API.
This is safe to do after creation, as the hardware/software distinction
doesn't affect how breakpoint locations are selected.
In some cases (e.g. when writing a trap instruction would alter program
behavior), it's important to use hardware breakpoints. Ideally, we’d
extend the various `Create` methods to support this, but given their
number, this patch limits the scope to the post-creation API. As a
workaround, users can also rely on target.require-hardware-breakpoint or
use the `breakpoint set` command.

Lots of code around LLDB was directly accessing the target's section
load list. This NFC patch makes the section load list private so the
Target class can access it, but everyone else now uses accessor
functions. This allows us to control the resolving of addresses and will
allow for functionality in LLDB which can lazily resolve addresses in
JIT plug-ins with a future patch.
This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.
This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.
This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()
Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form
` ResultTy DoFoo(Status& error)
`
to
` llvm::Expected<ResultTy> DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?
The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly
` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.

LLDB should guarantee that the strings returned by SBAPI methods
live forever. I went through every method that returns a string and made
sure that it was added to the ConstString StringPool before returning if
it wasn't obvious that it was already doing so.
I've also updated the docs to document this behavior.

In order to run a {break,watch}point command, lldb can resolve to the
script interpreter to run an arbitrary piece of code or call into a
user-provided function. To do so, we will generate a wrapping function,
where we first copy lldb's internal dictionary keys into the
interpreter's global dictionary, copied inline the user code before
resetting the global dictionary to its previous state.
However, {break,watch}point commands can optionally return a value that
would tell lldb whether we should stop or not. This feature was
only implemented for breakpoint commands and since we inlined the user
code directly into the wrapping function, introducing an early return,
that caused lldb to let the interpreter global dictionary tinted with the
internal dictionary keys.
This patch fixes that issue while also adding the stopping behaviour to
watchpoint commands.
To do so, this patch refactors the {break,watch}point command creation
method, to let the lldb wrapper function generator know if the user code is
a function call or a arbitrary expression.
Then the wrapper generator, if the user input was a function call, the
wrapper function will call the user function and save the return value into
a variable. If the user input was an arbitrary expression, the wrapper will
inline it into a nested function, call the nested function and save the
return value into the same variable. After resetting the interpreter global
dictionary to its previous state, the generated wrapper function will return
the varible containing the return value.

This is an NFC cleanup.
Many of the API's that returned BreakpointOptions always returned valid ones.
Internally the BreakpointLocations usually have null BreakpointOptions, since they
use their owner's options until an option is set specifically on the location.
So the original code used pointers & unique_ptr everywhere for consistency.
But that made the code hard to reason about from the outside.
This patch changes the code so that everywhere an API is guaranteed to
return a non-null BreakpointOption, it returns it as a reference to make
that clear.
It also changes the Breakpoint to hold a BreakpointOption
member where it previously had a UP. Since we were always filling the UP
in the Breakpoint constructor, having the UP wasn't helping anything.

Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).
This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

For example, it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Foo", and
it is pretty easy to write a breakpoint command that implements "stop when my caller is Bar". But there's no
way to write a generic "stop when my caller is..." function, and then specify the caller when you add the
command to a breakpoint.
With this patch, you can pass this data in a SBStructuredData dictionary. That will get stored in
the PythonCommandBaton for the breakpoint, and passed to the implementation function (if it has the right
signature) when the breakpoint is hit. Then in lldb, you can say:
(lldb) break com add -F caller_is -k caller_name -v Foo
More generally this will allow us to write reusable Python breakpoint commands.

This is part two of the change started in r359330. This patch moves the
ownership of the script interpreter from the command interpreter into
the debugger. I would've preferred to remove the lazy initialization,
however the fact that the scripting language is set after the debugger
is created makes that tricky. So for now this does exactly the same
thing as when it was under the command interpreter. The result is that
this patch is fully NFC.

For some reason I had convinced myself that functions returning by
pointer or reference do not require recording their result. However,
after further considering I don't see how that could work, at least not
with the current implementation. Interestingly enough, the reproducer
instrumentation already (mostly) accounts for this, though the
lldb-instr tool did not.
This patch adds the missing macros and updates the lldb-instr tool.

Summary:
Our python version of the SB API has (the python equivalent of)
operator bool, but the C++ version doesn't.
This is because our python operators are added by modify-python-lldb.py,
which performs postprocessing on the swig-generated interface files.
In this patch, I add the "operator bool" to all SB classes which have an
IsValid method (which is the same logic used by modify-python-lldb.py).
This way, we make the two interfaces more constent, and it allows us to
rely on swig's automatic syntesis of python __nonzero__ methods instead
of doing manual fixups.

The current record macros already log the function being called. This
patch extends the macros to also log their input arguments and removes
explicit logging from the SB API.
This might degrade the amount of information in some cases (because of
smarter casts or efforts to log return values). However I think this is
outweighed by the increased coverage and consistency. Furthermore, using
the reproducer infrastructure, diagnosing bugs in the API layer should
become much easier compared to relying on log messages.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

When debugging read-only memory we cannot use software breakpoint. We
already have support for hardware breakpoints and users can specify them
with `-H`. However, there's no option to force LLDB to use hardware
breakpoints internally, for example while stepping.
This patch adds a setting target.require-hardware-breakpoint that forces
LLDB to always use hardware breakpoints. Because hardware breakpoints
are a limited resource and can fail to resolve, this patch also extends
error handling in thread plans, where breakpoints are used for stepping.

When introduced, breakpoint names were just tags that you could
apply to breakpoints that would allow you to refer to a breakpoint
when you couldn't capture the ID, or to refer to a collection of
breakpoints.
This change makes the names independent holders of breakpoint options
that you can then apply to breakpoints when you add the name to the
breakpoint. It adds the "breakpoint name configure" command to set
up or reconfigure breakpoint names. There is also full support for
then in the SB API, including a new SBBreakpointName class.
The connection between the name and the breakpoints
sharing the name remains live, so if you reconfigure the name, all the
breakpoint options all change as well. This allows a quick way
to share complex breakpoint behavior among a bunch of breakpoints, and
a convenient way to iterate on the set.
You can also create a name from a breakpoint, allowing a quick way
to copy options from one breakpoint to another.
I also added the ability to make hidden and delete/disable protected
names. When applied to a breakpoint, you will only be able to list,
delete or disable that breakpoint if you refer to it explicitly by ID.
This feature will allow GUI's that need to use breakpoints for their
own purposes to keep their breakpoints from getting accidentally
disabled or deleted.

You can get a breakpoint to auto-continue by adding "continue"
as a command, but that has the disadvantage that if you hit two
breakpoints simultaneously, the continue will force the process
to continue, and maybe even forstalling the commands on the other.
The auto-continue flag means the breakpoints can negotiate about
whether to stop.
Writing tests, I wanted to supply some commands when I made the
breakpoints, so I also added that ability.

The goal here is to get lldbUtility into a state where it has

starting point at which to start untangling LLDB's dependencies.
These are all low level and very widely used classes, and
previously lldbUtility had dependencies up to lldbCore in order
to use these classes. So moving then down to lldbUtility makes
sense from both the short term and long term perspective in
