LOG: [lldb][Darwin] Change DynamicLoaderDarwin to default to new SPI (#126171)

In Sep 2016 and newer Darwin releases, debugserver uses libdyld SPI to
gather information about the binaries loaded in a process. Before Sep
2016, lldb would inspect the dyld internal data structures directly
itself to find this information.

DynamicLoaderDarwin::UseDYLDSPI currently defaults to the old
inspect-dyld-internal-structures method for binaries
(DynamicLoaderMacOSXDYLD). If it detects that the Process' host OS
version is new enough, it enables the newer libdyld SPI methods in
debugserver (DynamicLoaderMacOS).

This patch changes the default to use the new libdyld SPI interfaces. If
the Process has a HostOS and it is one of the four specific OSes that
existed in 2015 (Mac OS X, iOS, tvOS, watchOS) with an old version
number, then we will enable the old DynamicLoader plugin.

If this debug session is a corefile, we will always use the old
DynamicLoader plugin -- the libdyld SPI cannot run against a corefile,
lldb must read metadata or the dyld internal data structures in the
corefile to find the loaded binaries.
