The main issues were:
- Listeners recently were converted over to used by getting a shared pointer to a listener. And when they listened to broadcasters they would get a strong reference added to them meaning the listeners would never go away. This caused memory usage to increase and would cause performance issue if many steps were done.
- The lldb_private::Process private state thread had an issue where if a "stop" contol signal was attempted to be sent to that thread, it could end up not responding in 2 seconds and end up getting cancelled which might cause us to cancel a thread that had a mutex locked and it would deadlock the test.
This change makes broadcasters hold onto weak references to listeners. It also fixes some bad threading code that had races inside of it by making the m_events_mutex be non-recursive and getting rid of fragile use of a Predicate<bool> to say that new events are available, and replacing it with using the m_events_mutex with a new m_events_condition to control access to the events in a safer way.
The private state thread now uses a safer way to communicate that the control event has been received by the private state thread: it makes a EventDataReceipt instance that it attaches to the event that sends the control to the private state thread and used this to synchronize the fact that the private state thread has received the event instead of using a Predicate<bool> to convey the info. When the signal event is received, it will pull the event off of the queue in the private state thread and cause the EventData::DoOnRemoval() to be called, which will signal that the event has been received. This cleans up the signal delivery notification so it doesn't rely on a member variable of the process class to convey the info.
std::shared_ptr<EventDataReceipt> event_receipt_sp(new EventDataReceipt());
m_private_state_control_broadcaster.BroadcastEvent(signal, event_receipt_sp);

These are changes that are part of an effort to support building llgs, within the AOSP source tree, using the Android.mk
build system, when using the llvm/clang/lldb git repos from AOSP replaced with the experimental ones currently in
github.com/tfiala/aosp-{llvm,clang,lldb,compiler-rt}.

This patch moves creates a thread abstraction that represents a
thread running inside the LLDB process. This is a replacement for
otherwise using lldb::thread_t, and provides a platform agnostic
interface to managing these threads.
