[lldb][CPlusPlusLanguage] Respect the step-avoid-regex for functions with auto return types
**Summary**
The primary motivation for this patch is to make sure we handle
the step-in behaviour for functions in the `std` namespace which
have an `auto` return type. Currently the default `step-avoid-regex`
setting is `^std::` but LLDB will still step into template functions
with `auto` return types in the `std` namespace.
**Details**
When we hit a breakpoint and check whether we should stop, we call
into `ThreadPlanStepInRange::FrameMatchesAvoidCriteria`. We then ask
for the frame function name via `SymbolContext::GetFunctionName(Mangled::ePreferDemangledWithoutArguments)`.
This ends up trying to parse the function name using `CPlusPlusLanguage::MethodName::GetBasename` which
parses the raw demangled name string.
`CPlusPlusNameParser::ParseFunctionImpl` calls `ConsumeTypename` to skip
the (in our case auto) return type of the demangled name (according to the
Itanium ABI this is a valid thing to encode into the mangled name). However,
`ConsumeTypename` doesn't strip out a plain `auto` identifier
(it will strip a `decltype(auto) return type though). So we are now left with
a basename that still has the return type in it, thus failing to match the `^std::`
regex.
Example frame where the return type is still part of the function name:
```
Process 1234 stopped
* thread #1, stop reason = step in
frame #0: 0x12345678 repro`auto std::test_return_auto<int>() at main.cpp:12:5
9
10 template <class>
11 auto test_return_auto() {
-> 12 return 42;
13 }
```
This is another case where the `CPlusPlusNameParser` breaks us in subtle ways
due to evolving C++ syntax. There are longer-term plans of replacing the hand-rolled
C++ parser with an alternative that uses the mangle tree API to do the parsing for us.
**Testing**
* Added API and unit-tests
* Adding support for ABI tags into the parser is a larger undertaking
which we would rather solve properly by using libcxxabi's mangle tree
parser
