  Log Message:
  -----------
  [lldb] Deal gracefully with concurrency in the API instrumentation.

Prevent lldb from crashing when multiple threads are concurrently
accessing the SB API with reproducer capture enabled.

The API instrumentation records both the input arguments and the return
value, but it cannot block for the duration of the API call. Therefore
we introduce a sequence number that allows to to correlate the function
with its result and add locking to ensure those two parts are emitted
atomically.

Using the sequence number, we can detect situations where the return
value does not succeed the function call, in which case we print an
error saying that concurrency is not (currently) supported. In the
future we might attempt to be smarter and read ahead until we've found
the return value matching the current call.
