[lldb][NFC] Module, ModuleSpec, GetSectionData use DataExtractorSP (#178347)
In a PR last month I changed the ObjectFile CreateInstance etc methods
to accept an optional DataExtractorSP instead of a DataBufferSP, and
retain the extractor in a shared pointer internally in all of the
ObjectFile subclasses. This is laying the groundwork for using a
VirtualDataExtractor for some Mach-O binaries on macOS, where the
segments of the binary are out-of-order in actual memory, and we add a
lookup table to make it appear that the TEXT segment is at offset 0 in
the Extractor, etc. Working on the actual implementation, I realized we
were still using DataBufferSP's in ModuleSpec and Module, as well as in
ObjectFile::GetModuleSpecifications.

I originally was making a much larger NFC change where I had all
ObjectFile subclasses operating on DataExtractors throughout their
implementation, as well as in the DWARF parser. It was a very large
patchset. Many subclasses start with their DataExtractor, then create
smaller DataExtractors for parts of the binary image - the string table,
the symbol table, etc., for processing.

After consideration and discussion with Jonas, we agreed that a
segment/section of a binary will never require a lookup table to access
the bytes within it, so I changed
VirtualDataExtractor::GetSubsetExtractorSP to (1) require that the
Subset be contained within a single lookup table entry, and (2) return a
simple DataExtractor bounded on that byte range. By doing this, I was
able to remove all of my very-invasive changes to the ObjectFile
subclass internals; it's only when they are operating on the entire
binary image that care is needed.

One pattern that subclasses like ObjectFileBreakpad use is to take an
ArrayRef of the DataBuffer for a binary, then create a StringRef of
that, then look for strings in it. With a VirtualDataExtractor and
out-of-order binary segments, with gaps between them, this allows us to
search the entire buffer looking for a string, and segfault when it gets
to an unmapped region of the buffer. I added a
VirtualDataExtractor::GetSubsetExtractorSP(0) which gets the largest
contiguous memory region starting at offset 0 for this use case, and I
added a comment about what was being done there because I know it is not
obvious, and people not working on macOS wouldn't be familiar with the
requirement. (when we have a ModuleSpec with a DataExtractor, any of the
ObjectFile subclasses get a shot at Creating, so they all have to be
able to iterate on these)
