[lldb-dev] Support for Error Strings in remote protocol

[Stephane Sezer via lldb-dev]

What's the specific use case that you're trying to support with error
messages in the protocol? My initial thought on this is that it's not
really the debug server's job to generate human-readable error messages and
that the debugger is better suited to do the job.

Can this problem be solved by extending the current integer list used for
errors?
