This patch improves breakpoint management when doing interactive
scripted process debugging.
In other to know which process set a breakpoint, we need to do some book
keeping on the multiplexer scripted process. When initializing the
multiplexer, we will first copy breakpoints that are already set on the
driving target.
Everytime we launch or resume, we should copy breakpoints from the
multiplexer to the driving process.
When creating a breakpoint from a child process, it needs to be set both
on the multiplexer and on the driving process. We also tag the created
breakpoint with the name and pid of the originator process.
This patch also implements all the requirement to achieve proper
breakpoint management. That involves:
- Adding python interator for breakpoints and watchpoints in SBTarget
- Add a new `ScriptedProcess.create_breakpoint` python method

This patch tries to address an interoperability issue when writing
python string into the process memory.
Since the python string is not null-terminated, it would still be
written to memory however, when trying to read it again with
`SBProcess::ReadCStringFromMemory`, the memory read would fail, since
the read string doens't contain a null-terminator, and therefore is not
a valid C string.
To address that, this patch extends the `SBProcess` SWIG interface to
expose a new `WriteMemoryAsCString` method that is only exposed to the
SWIG target language. That method checks that the buffer to write is
null-terminated and otherwise, it appends a null byte at the end of it.

Revert while I investigate two CI bot failures;
the more important is the lldb-arm-ubuntu where
the FixAddress is removing the 0th bit so we're
adding the `actual=` decorator on a string pointer,
```
Got output:
(char *) strptr = 0x00400817 (actual=0x400816) ptr = [{ },{H}]
```
in TestDataFormatterSmartArray.py line 229.
This reverts commit 4d635be2db.
On target where metadata is stored in bits that aren't used for
virtual addressing -- AArch64 Top Byte Ignore and pointer authentication
are two examples -- an SBValue object representing a pointer will
return the address with metadata for SBValue::GetValueAsUnsigned.
Users may want to get the virtual address without the metadata;
this new method gives them a way to do this.

This patch adds the following methods:
* `GetType()`
* `GetWatchValueKind()`
* `GetWatchSpec()`
* `IsWatchingReads()`
* `IsWatchingWrites()`
These mostly expose methods that `lldb_private::Watchpoint` already
had. Tests are included that exercise these new methods.
The motivation for exposing these are as follows:
* `GetType()` - With this information and the address from a watchpoint
it is now possible to construct an SBValue from an SBWatchpoint.
Previously this wasn't possible. The included test case illustrates
doing this.
* `GetWatchValueKind()` - This allows the caller to determine whether the
watchpoint is a variable watchpoint or an expression watchpoint. A new
enum (`WatchpointValueKind`) has been introduced to represent the
return values. Unfortunately the name `WatchpointKind` was already
taken.
* `GetWatchSpec()` - This allows (at least for variable watchpoints)
to use a sensible name for SBValues created from an SBWatchpoint.
* `IsWatchingReads()` - This allow checking if a watchpoint is
monitoring read accesses.
* `IsWatchingWRites()` - This allow checking if a watchpoint is
monitoring write accesses.

Instead of maintaining separate swig interface files, we can use the API
headers directly. They implement the exact same C++ APIs and we can
conditionally include the python extensions as needed. To remove the
swig extensions from the API headers when building the LLDB
framework, we can use the unifdef tool when it is available. Otherwise
we just copy them as-is.

This is a preparatory patch to add an SB API to get the progress data as

This patch introduces a new `GetScriptedImplementation` method to the
SBProcess class in the SBAPI. It will allow users of Scripted Processes to
fetch the scripted implementation object from to script interpreter to be
able to interact with it directly (without having to go through lldb).
This allows to user to perform action that are not specified in the
scripted process interface, like calling un-specified methods, but also
to enrich the implementation, by passing it complex objects.

This patch is preparatory work for Scripted Platform support and does
multiple things:
First, it introduces new options for the `platform select` command and
`SBPlatform::Create` API, to hold a reference to the debugger object,
the name of the python script managing the Scripted Platform and a
structured data dictionary that the user can use to pass arbitrary data.
Then, it updates the various `Create` and `GetOrCreate` methods for
the `Platform` and `PlatformList` classes to pass down the new parameter
to the `Platform::CreateInstance` callbacks.
Finally, it updates every callback to reflect these changes.

SWIG allows you to partially disable thread support for a given function
in Python with `nothreadallow`. This functionality is limited to Python,
but until SWIG 4.1, it would silently ignore this for other languages,
such as Lua. New versions of SWIG are more strict and therefore we need
to guard this with `SWIGPYTHON`.
For more details on the functionality, I recommend reading the commit
message from 070a1d562b.
Reimplement `SBFileSpec.fullpath` to (indirectly) use `FileSpec::GetPath`.
Instead of hardcoding a `/` separator, use `GetPath`. This makes use of the
`FileSpec`'s internal style, which for example allows for backslash on Windows
where required.
It's not obvious from looking at the source, but the `fullpath` property is
implemented with `str`, which calls `GetDescription`, which finally calls
`GetPath`.

Summary:
Many times when debugging variables might not be available even though a user can successfully set breakpoints and stops somewhere. Letting the user know will help users fix these kinds of issues and have a better debugging experience.
Examples of this include:
- enabling -gline-tables-only and being able to set file and line breakpoints and yet see no variables
- unable to open object file for DWARF in .o file debugging for darwin targets due to modification time mismatch or not being able to locate the N_OSO file.
This patch adds an new API to SBValueList:
lldb::SBError lldb::SBValueList::GetError();
object so that if you request a stack frame's variables using SBValueList SBFrame::GetVariables(...), you can get an error the describes why the variables were not available.
This patch adds the ability to get an error back when requesting variables from a lldb_private::StackFrame when calling GetVariableList.
It also now shows an error in response to "frame variable" if we have debug info and are unable to get varialbes due to an error as mentioned above:
(lldb) frame variable
error: "a.o" object from the "/tmp/libfoo.a" archive: either the .o file doesn't exist in the archive or the modification time (0x63111541) of the .o file doesn't match

Fixes broken support for: `target.module[re.compile("libFoo")]`
There were two issues:
1. The type check was expecting `re.SRE_Pattern`
2. The expression to search the module path had a typo
In the first case, `re.SRE_Pattern` does not exist in Python 3, and is replaced
with `re.Pattern`.
While editing this code, I changed the type checks to us `isinstance`, which is
the conventional way of type checking.
From the docs on `type()`:
> The `isinstance()` built-in function is recommended for testing the type of an object, because it takes subclasses into account.

Symbols that have the section index of SHN_ABS were previously creating extra top level sections that contained the value of the symbol as if the symbol's value was an address. As far as I can tell, these symbol's values are not addresses, even if they do have a size. To make matters worse, adding these extra sections can stop address lookups from succeeding if the symbol's value + size overlaps with an existing section as these sections get mapped into memory when the image is loaded by the dynamic loader. This can cause stack frames to appear empty as the address lookup fails completely.
This patch:
- doesn't create a section for any SHN_ABS symbols
- makes symbols that are absolute have values that are not addresses
- add accessors to SBSymbol to get the value and size of a symbol as raw integers. Prevoiusly there was no way to access a symbol's value from a SBSymbol because the only accessors were:
SBAddress SBSymbol::GetStartAddress();
SBAddress SBSymbol::GetEndAddress();
and these accessors would return an invalid SBAddress if the symbol's value wasn't an address
- Adds a test to ensure no ".absolute.<symbol-name>" sections are created
- Adds a test to test the new SBSymbol APIs
