Med Ismail Bennani d7c403e640 [lldb/Plugins] Add ability to fetch crash information on crashed processes
Currently, in macOS, when a process crashes, lldb halts inside the
implementation disassembly without yielding any useful information.
The only way to get more information is to detach from the process, then wait
for ReportCrash to generate a report, find the report, then see what error
message was included in it. Instead of waiting for this to happen, lldb could
locate the error_string and make it available to the user.

This patch addresses this issue by enabling the user to fetch extended
crash information for crashed processes using `process status --verbose`.

Depending on the platform, this will try to gather different crash information
into an structured data dictionnary. This dictionnary is generic and extensible,
as it contains an array for each different type of crash information.

On Darwin Platforms, lldb will iterate over each of the target's images,
extract their `__crash_info` section and generated a StructuredData::Array
containing, in each entry, the module spec, its UUID, the crash messages
and the abort cause. The array will be inserted into the platform's
`m_extended_crash_info` dictionnary and `FetchExtendedCrashInformation` will
return its JSON representation like this:

```
{
  "crash-info annotations": [
    {
      "abort-cause": 0,
      "image": "/usr/lib/system/libsystem_malloc.dylib",
      "message": "main(76483,0x1000cedc0) malloc: *** error for object 0x1003040a0: pointer being freed was not allocated",
      "message2": "",
      "uuid": "5747D0C9-900D-3306-8D70-1E2EA4B7E821"
    },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}
```

This crash information can also be fetched using the SB API or lldb-rpc protocol
using SBTarget::GetExtendedCrashInformation().
