  Log Message:
  -----------
  Cache the manual DWARF index out to the LLDB cache directory when the LLDB index cache is enabled.

This patch add the ability to cache the manual DWARF indexing results to disk for faster subsequent debug sessions. Manual DWARF indexing is time consuming and causes all DWARF to be fully parsed and indexed each time you debug a binary that doesn't have an acceptable accelerator table. Acceptable accelerator tables include .debug_names in DWARF5 or Apple accelerator tables.

This patch breaks up testing by testing all of the encoding and decoding of required C++ objects in a gtest unit test, and then has a test to verify the debug info cache is generated correctly.

This patch also adds the ability to track when a symbol table or DWARF index is loaded or saved to the cache in the "statistics dump" command. This is essential to know in statistics as it can help explain why a debug session was slower or faster than expected.
