In #168245, I attempted to dump the available settings to Markdown. That
required a full build of LLDB. However, to build the docs, only the swig
wrappers should need to be compiled. The comment was that we should be
able to use the definitions from the TableGen files.
Currently, the property definitions in don't have information about the
path where they will be available. They only contain a `Definition`
which groups properties, so they can be added to
`OptionValueProperties`.
With this PR, I'm adding the path for each property definition. For
example, `symbols.enable-external-lookup` would have `Name =
enable-external-lookup, Path = symbols`. In LLDB itself, we don't need
this path, we only need it for the documentation. To avoid mismatches
between the actual path and the declared one, I added a debug-only check
when a property group is added to a parent
(`OptionValueProperties::AppendProperty`).
The TableGen emitter for the properties now additionally emits
`g_{definition}_properties_def`, which includes both the array of
properties and the expected path. This constant has to be used to
initialize a `OptionValueProperties`.
I couldn't test this for everything (e.g. IntelPT or ProcessKDP), but
the necessary changes are simple: (1) set the `Path` in the TableGen
file, (2) update `initialize` to use `_def`.
The fourth field in the property struct is the default unsigned or enum
value for all types, except for Array and Dictionary types. For those,
it is the element type. During the tablegen conversion, this was
incorrectly translated to DefaultValueUnsigned with a value
corresponding to the OptionValue: enum type. So for
OptionValue::eTypeString this became DefaultUnsignedValue<16>. This
patch extends the tablegen backend to understand ElementType to express
this as ElementType<"String">.

This prevents unused variable warning/error in -DNDEBUG builds. The
variable was introduced in 5934cd11ea3e.

This adds a few asserts to the property TableGen backend to prevent
mismatches between property types and their default values. This
would've prevented a copy-paste mistake we discovered downstream.
Right now our Properties.inc only generates the initializer for the
options list but not the array declaration boilerplate around it. As the
array definition is identical for all arrays, we might as well also let
the Properties.inc generate it alongside the initializers.
Unfortunately we cannot do the same for enums, as there's this magic
ePropertyExperimental, which needs to come at the end to be interpreted
correctly. Hopefully we can get rid of this in the future and do the
same for the property enums.

The printEscapedString would escape newlines by their ASCII values
instead of prefixing them with a `\`. Remove the escaping logic and
escape the strings in the definition file.

Property definitions are currently defined in a PropertyDefinition array
and have a corresponding enum to index in this array. Unfortunately this
is quite error prone. Indeed, just today we found an incorrect merge
where a discrepancy between the order of the enum values and their
definition caused the test suite to fail spectacularly.
Tablegen can streamline the process of generating the property
definition table while at the same time guaranteeing that the enums stay
in sync. That's exactly what this patch does. It adds a new tablegen
file for the properties, building on top of the infrastructure that
Raphael added recently for the command options. It also introduces two
new tablegen backends: one for the property definitions and one for
their corresponding enums.
It might be worth mentioning that I generated most of the tablegen
definitions from the existing property definitions, by adding a dump
method to the struct. This seems both more efficient and less error
prone that copying everything over by hand. Only Enum properties needed
manual fixup for the EnumValues and DefaultEnumValue fields.
