This is a proof-of-concept change that shows what it would take to use
the API headers as the source-of-truth for generating swig bindings instead of
using the interface files directly. It only covers SBAddress but can easily
extend to all the other SB classes.

The idea is to use the API headers as the "source of truth" when generating the
swig bindings. The swig interfaces include a bit more than the C++ API (e.g.
docstrings, python methods) but those can be conditionally included when we
invoke swig. To avoid "polluting" the headers in the LLDB framework on macOS, we
can use the unifdef utility to remove the swig bits as we copy them for staging.
