<title>[LLDB] Add support for the structured data plugins in lldb-server (#159457)</title>

The LLDB client has support for structured data plugins, but lldb-server
doesn't have corresponding support for it. This patch adds the missing
functionality in LLGS for servers to register their supported plugins
and send corresponding async messages.</content>

…rotocol

When writing a custom gdb-remote server I realized that the encoder and
decoder of register formats is incomplete.

- Add the encoder on the server side and add an llvm_unreachable is
there's a missing case.
- Add a decoder on the client side that doesn't fail. We have to keep it
flexible.

I couldn't figure out an easy way to test this but the changes seem very
straightforward to me.</content>

This reverts commit a774de807e56c1147d4630bfec3110c11d41776e.

This is the same changes as last time, plus:
* We load the binary into the target object so that on Windows, we can
resolve the locations of the functions.
* We now assert that each required breakpoint has at least 1 location,
to prevent an issue like that in the future.
* We are less strict about the unsupported error message, because it
prints "error: windows" on Windows instead of "error: gdb-remote".</content>

This reverts commit 22561cfb443267905d4190f0e2a738e6b412457f and fixes
b7b9ccf44988edf49886743ae5c3cf4184db211f (#112079).

The problem is that x86_64 and Arm 32-bit have memory regions above the
stack that are readable but not writeable. First Arm:
```
(lldb) memory region --all
&lt;...&gt;
[0x00000000fffcf000-0x00000000ffff0000) rw- [stack]
[0x00000000ffff0000-0x00000000ffff1000) r-x [vectors]
[0x00000000ffff1000-0xffffffffffffffff) ---
```
Then x86_64:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
&lt;...&gt;
7ffdcd148000-7ffdcd16a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
7ffdcd193000-7ffdcd196000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0                          [vvar]
7ffdcd196000-7ffdcd197000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                          [vdso]
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 --xp 00000000 00:00 0                  [vsyscall]
```
Compare this to AArch64 where the test did pass:
```
$ cat /proc/self/maps
&lt;...&gt;
ffffb87dc000-ffffb87dd000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0                          [vvar]
ffffb87dd000-ffffb87de000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                          [vdso]
ffffb87de000-ffffb87e0000 r--p 0002a000 00:3c 76927217                   /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
ffffb87e0000-ffffb87e2000 rw-p 0002c000 00:3c 76927217                   /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
fffff4216000-fffff4237000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
```
To solve this, look up the memory region of the stack pointer (using
https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/lldbgdbremote.html#qmemoryregioninfo-addr)
and constrain the read to within that region. Since we know the stack is
all readable and writeable.

I have also added skipIfRemote to the tests, since getting them working
in that context is too complex to be worth it.

Memory write failures now display the range they tried to write, and
register write errors will show the name of the register where possible.

The patch also includes a workaround for a an issue where the test code
could mistake an `x` response that happens to begin with an `O` for an
output packet (stdout). This workaround will not be necessary one we
start using the [new
implementation](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-fixing-incompatibilties-of-the-x-packet-w-r-t-gdb/84288)
of the `x` packet.

This commit adds support for a
`SBProcess::ContinueInDirection()` API. A user-accessible command for
this will follow in a later commit.

This feature depends on a gdbserver implementation (e.g. `rr`) providing
support for the `bc` and `bs` packets. `lldb-server` does not support
those packets, and there is no plan to change that. For testing
purposes, this commit adds a Python implementation of *very limited*
record-and-reverse-execute functionality, implemented as a proxy between
lldb and lldb-server in `lldbreverse.py`. This should not (and in
practice cannot) be used for anything except testing.

The tests here are quite minimal but we test that simple breakpoints and
watchpoints work as expected during reverse execution, and that
conditional breakpoints and watchpoints work when the condition calls a
function that must be executed in the forward direction.</content>
