This fixes the two test suite failures that I missed in the PR:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/112939

One was a poorly written test case - it assumed that on connect to a
gdb-remote with a running process, lldb MUST have fetched all the frame
0 registers. In fact, there's no need for it to do so (as the CallSite
patch showed...) and if we don't need to we shouldn't. So I fixed the
test to only expect a `g` packet AFTER calling read_registers.

The other was a place where some code had used 0 when it meant
LLDB_INVALID_LINE_NUMBER, which I had fixed but missed one place where
it was still compared to 0.</content>

This was breaking some gdb-remote packet counting tests on the bots. I
can't see how this patch could cause that breakage, but I'm reverting to
figure that out.

<title>Add the ability to break on call-site locations, improve inline stepping (#112939)</title>

Previously lldb didn't support setting breakpoints on call site
locations. This patch adds that ability.

It would be very slow if we did this by searching all the debug
information for every inlined subroutine record looking for a call-site
match, so I added one restriction to the call-site support. This change
will find all call sites for functions that also supply at least one
line to the regular line table. That way we can use the fact that the
line table search will move the location to that subsequent line (but
only within the same function). When we find an actually moved source
line match, we can search in the function that contained that line table
entry for the call-site, and set the breakpoint location back to that.

When I started writing tests for this new ability, it quickly became
obvious that our support for virtual inline stepping was pretty buggy.
We didn't print the right file &amp; line number for the breakpoint, and we
didn't set the position in the "virtual inlined stack" correctly when we
hit the breakpoint. We also didn't step through the inlined frames
correctly. There was code to try to detect the right inlined stack
position, but it had been refactored a while back with the comment that
it was super confusing and the refactor was supposed to make it clearer,
but the refactor didn't work either.

That code was made much clearer by abstracting the job of "handling the
stack readjustment" to the various StopInfo's. Previously, there was a
big (and buggy) switch over stop info's. Moving the responsibility to
the stop info made this code much easier to reason about.

We also had no tests for virtual inlined stepping (our inlined stepping
test was actually written specifically to avoid the formation of a
virtual inlined stack... So I also added tests for that along with the
tests for setting the call-site breakpoints.</content>

This allows languages to provide an opinion on whether two symbol
contexts are equivalent (i.e. belong to the same function).

It is useful to drive the comparisons done by stepping plans that need
to ensure symbol contexts obtained from different points in time are
actually the same.</content>

<title>New ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout to resolve potential deadlock in single thread stepping (#90930)</title>

<id>f838fa820f9271008617c345c477122d9e29a05c</id>
<content type='text'>
This PR introduces a new `ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout` that will be
used to address potential deadlock during single-thread stepping.

While debugging a target with a non-trivial number of threads (around
5000 threads in one example target), we noticed that a simple step over
can take as long as 10 seconds. Enabling single-thread stepping mode
significantly reduces the stepping time to around 3 seconds. However,
this can introduce deadlock if we try to step over a method that depends
on other threads to release a lock.

To address this issue, we introduce a new
`ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout` that can be controlled by the
`target.process.thread.single-thread-plan-timeout` setting during
single-thread stepping mode. The concept involves counting the elapsed
time since the last internal stop to detect overall stepping progress.
Once a timeout occurs, we assume the target is not making progress due
to a potential deadlock, as mentioned above. We then send a new async
interrupt, resume all threads, and `ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout`
completes its task.

To support this design, the major changes made in this PR are:
1. `ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout` is popped during every internal stop
and reset (re-pushed) to the top of the stack (as a leaf node) during
resume. This is achieved by always returning `true` from
`ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout::DoPlanExplainsStop()` and
`ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout::MischiefManaged()`.
2. A new thread-specific async interrupt stop is introduced, which can
be detected/consumed by `ThreadPlanSingleThreadTimeout`.
3. The clearing of branch breakpoints in the range thread plan has been
moved from `DoPlanExplainsStop()` to `ShouldStop()`, as it is not
guaranteed that it will be called.

The detailed design is discussed in the RFC below:

[https://discourse.llvm.org/t/improve-single-thread-stepping/74599](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/improve-single-thread-stepping/74599)

This is an improved attempt to improve the semantics of SupportFile
equivalence, taking into account the feedback from #95606.

Pavel's comment about the lack of a concise name because the concept
isn't trivial made me realize that I don't want to abstract this concept
away behind a helper function. Instead, I opted for a rather verbose
enum that forces the caller to consider exactly what kind of comparison
is appropriate for every call.</content>

Most of our code was including Log.h even though that is not where the
"lldb" log channel is defined (Log.h defines the generic logging
infrastructure). This worked because Log.h included Logging.h, even
though it should.

After the recent refactor, it became impossible the two files include
each other in this direction (the opposite inclusion is needed), so this
patch removes the workaround that was put in place and cleans up all
files to include the right thing. It also renames the file to LLDBLog to
better reflect its purpose.
