  [lldb][Docs] Add equivalents of GDB's "skip" to command map (#120740)

https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/Skipping-Over-Functions-and-Files.html

We can't emulate all the features of that command but we can skip a
function by name with some extra steps.

As far as I know this only matches function name unlike GDB that can
filter on file and line and so on:
```
target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp -- A regular expression defining functions step-in won't stop in.
```
It's likely it's got some corner cases that don't work, maybe inlining,
but it doesn't seem worth going into it here.

I don't think we can chain lldb interpreter commands, so I have shown
the steps separately.

I have also mentioned `thread step-in` and its alias `sif`. Which were
new to me too.
