There was a test in the test suite that was triggering the backtrace logging output that requested that the client pass an execution context. Sometimes we need the process for Objective C types because our static notion of the type might not align with the reality when being run in a live runtime.
Switched from an "ExecutionContext *" to an "ExecutionContextScope *" for greater ease of use.

Why? Debugger::FormatPrompt() would run through the format prompt every time and parse it and emit it piece by piece. It also did formatting differently depending on which key/value pair it was parsing.
The new code improves on this with the following features:
1 - Allow format strings to be parsed into a FormatEntity::Entry which can contain multiple child FormatEntity::Entry objects. This FormatEntity::Entry is a parsed version of what was previously always done in Debugger::FormatPrompt() so it is more efficient to emit formatted strings using the new parsed FormatEntity::Entry.
2 - Allows errors in format strings to be shown immediately when setting the settings (frame-format, thread-format, disassembly-format
3 - Allows auto completion by implementing a new OptionValueFormatEntity and switching frame-format, thread-format, and disassembly-format settings over to using it.
4 - The FormatEntity::Entry for each of the frame-format, thread-format, disassembly-format settings only replaces the old one if the format parses correctly
5 - Combines all consecutive string values together for efficient output. This means all "${ansi.*}" keys and all desensitized characters like "\n" "\t" "\0721" "\x23" will get combined with their previous strings
6 - ${*.script:} (like "${var.script:mymodule.my_var_function}") have all been switched over to use ${script.*:} "${script.var:mymodule.my_var_function}") to make the format easier to parse as I don't believe anyone was using these format string power user features.
7 - All key values pairs are defined in simple C arrays of entries so it is much easier to add new entries.
These changes pave the way for subsequent modifications where we can modify formats to do more (like control the width of value strings can do more and add more functionality more easily like string formatting to control the width, printf formats and more).

This is necessary because the byte size of an ObjC class type is not reliably statically knowable (e.g. because superclasses sit deep in frameworks that we have no debug info for)
The lack of reliable size info is a problem when trying to freeze-dry an ObjC instance (not the pointer, the pointee)
This commit lays the foundation for having language runtimes help in figuring out byte sizes, and having ClangASTType ask for runtime help
No feature change as no runtime actually implements the logic, and nowhere is an ExecutionContext passed in yet

Summary:
This moves
- SyntheticChildrenFrontEnd::CreateValueObjectFromExpression
- SyntheticChildrenFrontEnd::CreateValueObjectFromAddress
- SyntheticChildrenFrontEnd::CreateValueObjectFromData
outside the `#ifndef LLDB_DISABLE_PYTHON` since it doesn't seem to depend on python being available and indeed breaks the build when python is disabled.

Function pointers had a summary generated for them bypassing formatters, directly as part of the ValueObject subsystem
This patch transitions that code into a hardcoded summary
llvm-svn: 223906
- adds a new flag to mark ValueObjects as "synthetic children generated"
- vends new Create functions as part of the SyntheticChildrenFrontEnd that set the flag automatically
- moves synthetic child providers over to using these new functions
No visible feature change, but preparatory work for feature change
llvm-svn: 223819
Two flags are introduced:
- preferred display language (as in, ObjC vs. C++)
- summary capping (as in, should a limit be put to the amount of data retrieved)
The meaning - if any - of these options is for individual formatters to establish
The topic of a subsequent commit will be to actually wire these through to individual data formatters

The recent StringPrinter changes made this behavior the default, and the setting defaults to yes
If you want to change this behavior and see non-printables unescaped (e.g. "a\tb" as "a b"), set it to false

The way to do this is to write a synthetic child provider for your type, and have it vend the (optional) get_value function.
If get_value is defined, and it returns a valid SBValue, that SBValue's value (as in lldb_private::Value) will be used as the synthetic ValueObject's Value
The rationale for doing things this way is twofold:
- there are many possible ways to define a "value" (SBData, a Python number, ...) but SBValue seems general enough as a thing that stores a "value", so we just trade values that way and that keeps our currency trivial
- we could introduce a new level of layering (ValueObjectSyntheticValue), a new kind of formatter (synthetic value producer), but that would complicate the model (can I have a dynamic with no synthetic children but synthetic value? synthetic value with synthetic children but no dynamic?), and I really couldn't see much benefit to be reaped from this added complexity in the matrix
On the other hand, just defining a synthetic child provider with a get_value but returning no actual children is easy enough that it's not a significant road-block to adoption of this feature
Comes with a test case
