LOG: Add the ability to define a Python based command that uses CommandObjectParsed (#70734)

This allows you to specify options and arguments and their definitions
and then have lldb handle the completions, help, etc. in the same way
that lldb does for its parsed commands internally.

This feature has some design considerations as well as the code, so I've
also set up an RFC, but I did this one first and will put the RFC
address in here once I've pushed it...

Note, the lldb "ParsedCommand interface" doesn't actually do all the
work that it should. For instance, saying the type of an option that has
a completer doesn't automatically hook up the completer, and ditto for
argument values. We also do almost no work to verify that the arguments
match their definition, or do auto-completion for them. This patch
allows you to make a command that's bug-for-bug compatible with built-in
ones, but I didn't want to stall it on getting the auto-command checking
to work all the way correctly.

As an overall design note, my primary goal here was to make an interface
that worked well in the script language. For that I needed, for
instance, to have a property-based way to get all the option values that
were specified. It was much more convenient to do that by making a
fairly bare-bones C interface to define the options and arguments of a
command, and set their values, and then wrap that in a Python class
(installed along with the other bits of the lldb python module) which
you can then derive from to make your new command. This approach will
also make it easier to experiment.

See the file test_commands.py in the test case for examples of how this
works.

+"""
+This module implements a couple of utility classes to make writing
+lldb parsed commands more Pythonic.
+The way to use it is to make a class for your command that inherits from ParsedCommandBase.
+That will make an LLDBOptionValueParser which you will use for your
+option definition, and to fetch option values for the current invocation
+of your command.  Access to the OV parser is through:
+
+ParsedCommandBase.get_parser()
+
+Next, implement setup_command_definition() in your new command class, and call:
+
+  self.get_parser().add_option()
+
+to add all your options.  The order doesn't matter for options, lldb will sort them
+alphabetically for you when it prints help.
+
+Similarly you can define the arguments with:
+
+  self.get_parser().add_argument()
+
+At present, lldb doesn't do as much work as it should verifying arguments, it
+only checks that commands that take no arguments don't get passed arguments.
+
+Then implement the execute function for your command as:
+
+    def __call__(self, debugger, args_list, exe_ctx, result):
+
+The arguments will be a list of strings.  
+
+You can access the option values using the 'dest' string you passed in when defining the option.
+And if you need to know whether a given option was set by the user or not, you can
+use the was_set API.  
+
+So for instance, if you have an option whose "dest" is "my_option", then:
+
+    self.get_parser().my_option
+
+will fetch the value, and:
+
+    self.get_parser().was_set("my_option")
+
+will return True if the user set this option, and False if it was left at its default
+value.
