Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [lldb] Add SBValue::GetValueAsAddress API

I previously added this API via https://reviews.llvm.org/D142792
in 2023, along with changes to the ValueObject class to treat
pointer types as addresses, and to annotate those ValueObjects
with the original uint64_t byte sequence AND the name of the
symbol once stripped, if that points to a symbol.

I did this unconditionally for all pointer type ValueObjects, and
it caused several regressions in the Objective-C data formatters
which have a ValueObject of an object, it has the address of its
class -- but with ObjC, sometimes it is a "tagged pointer" which
is metadata, not an actual pointer.  (e.g. a small NSInteger value
is stored entirely in the tagged pointer, instead of a separate
object)  Treating these not-addresses as addresses -- clearing the
non-addressable-bits -- is invalid.

The original version of this patch we're using downstream only
does this bits clearing for pointer types that are specifically
decorated with the pointerauth typequal, but not all of those
clang changes are upstreamed to github main yet, so I tried this
simpler approach and hit the tagged pointer issue and bailed on
the whole patch.

This patch, however, is simply adding SBValue::GetValueAsAddress
so script writers who know that an SBValue has an address in
memory, can strip off any metadata.  It's an important API to have
for script writers when AArch64 ptrauth is in use, so I'm
going to put this part of the patch back on github main now until
we can get the rest of that original patch upstreamed.
