<title>[lldb] Guard SBFrame/SBThread methods against running processes (#152020)</title>

<id>f12e0380be3bd6084ae860090dc027e0281e388e</id>
<content type='text'>
Prior to this patch, SBFrame/SBThread methods exhibit racy behavior if
called while the process is running, because they do not lock the
`Process::RetRunLock` mutex. If they did, they would fail, correctly
identifying that the process is not running.

Some methods _attempt_ to protect against this with the pattern:

```
ExecutionContext exe_ctx(m_opaque_sp.get(), lock); // this is a different lock
Process *process = exe_ctx.GetProcessPtr();
if (process) {
  Process::StopLocker stop_locker;
  if (stop_locker.TryLock(&amp;process-&gt;GetRunLock()))
        .... do work ...
```

However, this is also racy: the constructor of `ExecutionContext` will
access the frame list, which is something that can only be done once the
process is stopped.

With this patch:

1. The constructor of `ExecutionContext` now expects a `ProcessRunLock`
as an argument. It attempts to lock the run lock, and only fills in
information about frames and threads if the lock can be acquired.
Callers of the constructor are expected to check the lock.
2. All uses of ExecutionContext are adjusted to conform to the above.
3. The SBThread.cpp-defined helper function ResumeNewPlan now expects a
locked ProcessRunLock as _proof_ that the execution is stopped. It will
unlock the mutex prior to resuming the process.

This commit exposes many opportunities for early-returns, but these
would increase the diff of this patch and distract from the important
changes, so we opt not to do it here.</content>

<title>[lldb] do not show misleading error when there is no frame (#119103)</title>

I am using VSCode with the official vscode-lldb extension. When I try to
list the breakpoints in the debug console get the message:

```
br list
can't evaluate expressions when the process is running.
```

I know that this is wrong and you need to use
```
`br list
(lldb) br list
No breakpoints currently set.
```
but the error message is misleading. I cleaned up the code and now the
error message is

```
br list
sbframe object is not valid.
```
which is still not perfect, but at least it's not misleading.</content>

But one made in a situation where that's impossible might only have an
error, and no symbol context, so that's not necessarily true. Check for
the target's validity before using it.

```

Judging by the backtrace something is trying to read the pointer authentication address/code mask
registers. This explains why I've not seen this issue locally, as the buildbot runs on Graviton
3 with has the pointer authentication extension.

I will try to reproduce, fix and re-enable the test.
