Relates to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/135707

Where it was reported that reading the PC using "register read" had
different results to an expression "$pc".

This was happening because registers are treated in lldb as pure
"values" that don't really have an endian. We have to store them
somewhere on the host of course, so the endian becomes host endian.

When you want to use a register as a value in an expression you're
pretending that it's a variable in memory. In target memory. Therefore
we must convert the register value to that endian before use.

The test I have added is based on the one used for XML register flags.
Where I fake an AArch64 little endian and an s390x big endian target. I
set up the data in such a way the pc value should print the same for
both, either with register read or an expression.

I considered just adding a live process test that checks the two are the
same but with on one doing cross endian testing, I doubt it would have
ever caught this bug.

Simulating this means most of the time, little endian hosts will test
little to little and little to big. In the minority of cases with a big
endian host, they'll check the reverse. Covering all the combinations.</content>

This patch fixes updating persistent variables when memory cannot be
allocated in an inferior process:
```
&gt; lldb -c test.core
(lldb) expr int $i = 5
(lldb) expr $i = 55
(int) $0 = 55
(lldb) expr $i
(int) $i = 5
```

With this patch, the last command prints:
```
(int) $i = 55
```

The issue was introduced in #145599.</content>

<title>[lldb] Fix evaluating expressions without JIT in an object context (#145599)</title>

If a server does not support allocating memory in an inferior process or
when debugging a core file, evaluating an expression in the context of a
value object results in an error:

```
error: &lt;lldb wrapper prefix&gt;:43:1: use of undeclared identifier '$__lldb_class'
   43 | $__lldb_class::$__lldb_expr(void *$__lldb_arg)
      | ^
```

Such expressions require a live address to be stored in the value
object. However, `EntityResultVariable::Dematerialize()` only sets
`ret-&gt;m_live_sp` if JIT is available, even if the address points to the
process memory and no custom allocations were made. Similarly,
`EntityPersistentVariable::Dematerialize()` tries to deallocate memory
based on the same check, resulting in an error if the memory was not
previously allocated in `EntityPersistentVariable::Materialize()`.

As an unintended bonus, the patch also fixes a FIXME case in
`TestCxxChar8_t.py`.</content>

<title>[lldb] Refactor away UB in SBValue::GetLoadAddress (#141799)</title>

<content type='text'>
The problem was in calling GetLoadAddress on a value in the error state,
where `ValueObject::GetLoadAddress` could end up accessing the
uninitialized "address type" by-ref return value from `GetAddressOf`.
This probably happened because each function expected the other to
initialize it.

We can guarantee initialization by turning this into a proper return
value.

I've added a test, but it only (reliably) crashes if lldb is built with
ubsan.</content>

<content type='text'>
This patch pushes the error handling boundary for the GetBitSize()
methods from Runtime into the Type and CompilerType APIs. This makes it
easier to diagnose problems thanks to more meaningful error messages
being available. GetBitSize() is often the first thing LLDB asks about a
type, so this method is particularly important for a better user
experience.

<title>[lldb] Move ValueObject into its own library (NFC) (#113393)</title>

ValueObject is part of lldbCore for historical reasons, but conceptually
it deserves to be its own library. This does introduce a (link-time) circular
dependency between lldbCore and lldbValueObject, which is unfortunate
but probably unavoidable because so many things in LLDB rely on
ValueObject. We already have cycles and these libraries are never built
as dylibs so while this doesn't improve the situation, it also doesn't
make things worse.

The header includes were updated with the following command:

```
find . -type f -exec sed -i.bak "s%include \"lldb/Core/ValueObject%include \"lldb/ValueObject/ValueObject%" '{}' \;
```</content>

This patch removes all of the Set.* methods from Status.

This cleanup is part of a series of patches that make it harder use the
anti-pattern of keeping a long-lives Status object around and updating
it while dropping any errors it contains on the floor.

This patch is largely NFC, the more interesting next steps this enables
is to:
1. remove Status.Clear()
2. assert that Status::operator=() never overwrites an error
3. remove Status::operator=()

Note that step (2) will bring 90% of the benefits for users, and step
(3) will dramatically clean up the error handling code in various
places. In the end my goal is to convert all APIs that are of the form

`    ResultTy DoFoo(Status&amp; error)
`
to

`    llvm::Expected&lt;ResultTy&gt; DoFoo()
`
How to read this patch?

The interesting changes are in Status.h and Status.cpp, all other
changes are mostly

` perl -pi -e 's/\.SetErrorString/ = Status::FromErrorString/g' $(git
grep -l SetErrorString lldb/source)
`
plus the occasional manual cleanup.</content>
