<summary>Changes</summary>

### Summary
Add support for unique target ids per Target instance. This is needed for upcoming changes to allow debugger instances to be shared across separate DAP instances for child process/gpu debugging.

Each Target instance will have its own unique id, and uses a function-local counter in `TargetList::CreateTargetInternal` to assign incremental unique ids. 

### Tests
Added several unit tests to test basic functionality, uniqueness of targets, and target deletion doesn't affect the uniqueness.
```
bin/lldb-dotest -p TestDebuggerAPI
```
