[lldb-dev] [Patch] Implement run length encoding

[Greg Clayton]

Please checkout Virgil Bello's patch and see if his works for you? It does things differently by only expanding the packet when the packet is complete, which I like a bit better.

We read data in a chunk so I check for RLE on a packet when we have detected its boundary. Tested by running LLDB with gdbserver and also by manually inspecting the packet logs from both sides. Is it ok?
