[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Remove --debug/-d option from lldb (PR #179978)

[David Spickett via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/DavidSpickett created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/179978

The functionality was removed in d3173f4ab61c17337908eb7df3f1c515ddcd428c after being broken for a long time.

There's a small risk someone is still passing the option, but I think it's time to remove it.
