Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [lldb] Introduce internal stop hooks

Introduce the concept of internal stop hooks.
These are similar to LLDB's internal breakpoints:
LLDB itself will add them and users of LLDB will
not be able to add or remove them.

This change adds the following 3
independently-useful concepts:
* Maintain a list of internal stop hooks that will
  be populated by LLDB and cannot be added to or
  removed from by users.  They are managed in a
  separate list in
  `Target::m_internal_stop_hooks`.
* `StopHookKind:CodeBased` and `StopHookCoded`
  represent a stop hook defined by a C++ code
  callback (instead of command line expressions or
  a Python class).
* Stop hooks that do not print any output can now
  also suppress the printing of their header and
  description when they are hit via
  `StopHook::GetSuppressOutput`.

Combining these 3 concepts we can model "internal
stop hooks" which serve the same function as
LLDB's internal breakpoints: executing built-in,
LLDB-defined behavior, leveraging the existing
mechanism of stop hooks.

This change also simplifies
`Target::RunStopHooks`.  We already have to
materialize a new list for combining internal and
user stop hooks.  Filter and only add active hooks
to this list to avoid the need for "isActive?"
checks later on.
