Summary:
This is the first of a few patches I have to improve the performance of dynamic module loading on Android.
In this first diff I'll describe the context of my main motivation and will then link to it in the other diffs to avoid repeating myself.
## Motivation
I have a few scenarios where opening a specific feature on an Android app takes around 40s when lldb is attached to it. The reason for that is because 40 modules are dynamicly loaded at that point in time and each one of them is taking ~1s.
## The problem
To learn about new modules we have a breakpoint on a linker function that is called twice whenever a module is loaded. One time just before it's loaded (so lldb can check which modules are loaded) and another right after it's loaded (so lldb can check again which ones are loaded and calculate the diference).
It's figuring out which modules are loaded that is taking quite some time. This is currently done by traversing the linked list of loaded shared libraries that the linker maintains in memory. Each item in the linked list requires its own `x` packet sent to the gdb server (this is android so the network also plays a part). In my scenario there are 400+ loaded libraries and even though we read 0x800 worth of bytes at a time we still make ~180 requests that end up taking 150-200ms.
We also do this twice, once before the module is loaded (state = eAdd) and another right after (state = eConsistent) which easly adds up to ~400ms per module.
## A solution
**Implement `xfer:libraries-svr4` in lldb-server:**
I noticed in the code that loads the new modules that it had support for the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet (added ~4 years ago to support the ds2 debug server) but we didn't support it in lldb-server. This single packet returns an xml list of all the loaded modules by the process. The advantage is that there's no more need to make 180 requests to read the linked list. Additionally this new requests takes around 10ms.
**More efficient usage of the `xfer:libraries-svr4` packet in lldb:**
When `xfer:libraries-svr4` is available the Process class has a `LoadModules` function that requests this packet and then loads or unloads modules based on the current list of loaded modules by the process.
This is the function that is used by the DYLDRendezvous class to get the list of loaded modules before and after the module is loaded. However, this is really not needed since the LoadModules function already loaded or unloaded the modules accordingly. I changed this strategy to call LoadModules only once (after the process has loaded the module).
**Bugs**
I found a few issues in lldb while implementing this and have submitted independent patches for them.
I tried to devide this into multiple logical patches to make it easier to review and discuss.
## Tests
I wanted to put these set of diffs up before having all the tests up and running to start having them reviewed from a techical point of view. I'm also having some trouble making the tests running on linux so I need more time to make that happen.
# This diff
The `xfer` packages follow the same protocol, they are requested with `xfer:<object>:<read|write>:<annex>:<offset,length>` and a return that starts with `l` or `m` depending if the offset and length covers the entire data or not. Before implementing the `xfer:libraries-svr4` I refactored the `xfer:auxv` to generically handle xfer packets so we can easly add new ones.
The overall structure of the function ends up being:
* Parse the packet into its components: object, offset etc.
* Depending on the object do its own logic to generate the data.
* Return the data based on its size, the requested offset and length.

Summary:
We've had a mismatch in the checksum computation between the sender and
receiver. The sender computed the payload checksum using the wire
encoding of the packet, while the receiver did this after expanding
un-escaping and expanding run-length-encoded sequences. This resulted in
communication breakdown if packets using these feature were sent in the
ack mode.
Normally, this did not cause any issues since the only packet we send in
the ack-mode is the QStartNoAckMode packet, but I ran into this when
debugging the lldb-server tests which (for better or worse) don't use
this mode.
According to the gdb-remote documentation "The two-digit checksum is computed as
the modulo 256 sum of all characters between the leading ‘$’ and the
trailing ‘#’", it seems that our sender is doing the right thing here.
Therefore, I fix the receiver the match the sender behavior and add a
test.
With this bug fixed, we can see that lldb-server is sending a stop-reply
after receiving the "k" in the same way as debugserver does (but we
weren't detecting this because at that point the connection was dead
already). I fix that expectation as well.

Instead of every test creating a client-server combo, do that in the
SetUp method of the test fixture. This also means that we can rely on
gtest to not run the test if the SetUp method fails and delete the
if(HasFailure) calls.

This is extending the updates from r293696 to the LLDB unit tests.

class
Summary:
When saving/restoring registers the GDBRemoteRegisterContext class was manually constructing
the register save/restore packets. This creates appropriate helper functions in
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient, and switches the class to use those. It also removes what a
duplicate packet send in some of those functions, a thing that I can only attribute to a bad
merge artefact.
I also add a test framework for testing gdb-remote client functionality and add tests for the new
functions I introduced. I'd like to be able to test the register context changes in isolation as
well, but currently there doesn't seem to be a way to reasonably construct a standalone register
context object, so we'll have to rely on the end-to-end tests to verify that.

Resumbitting the commit after fixing the following problems:
- broken unit tests on windows: incorrect gtest usage on my part (TEST vs. TEST_F)
- the new code did not correctly handle the case where we went to interrupt the process, but it
stopped due to a different reason - the interrupt request would remain queued and would
interfere with the following "continue". I also added a unit test for this case.
This reapplies r277156 and r277139.

This reverts commit r277139, because:
- broken unittest on windows (likely typo on my part)
- seems to break TestCallThatRestart (needs investigation)

SendContinuePacketAndWaitForResponse was huge function with very complex interactions with
several other functions (SendAsyncSignal, SendInterrupt, SendPacket). This meant that making any
changes to how packet sending functions and threads interact was very difficult and error-prone.
This change does not add any functionality yet, it merely paves the way for future changes. In a
follow-up, I plan to add the ability to have multiple query packets in flight (i.e.,
request,request,response,response instead of the usual request,response sequences) and use that
to speed up qModuleInfo packet processing.
Here, I introduce two special kinds of locks: ContinueLock, which is used by the continue thread,
and Lock, which is used by everyone else. ContinueLock (atomically) sends a continue packet, and
blocks any other async threads from accessing the connection. Other threads create an instance of
the Lock object when they want to access the connection. This object, while in scope prevents the
continue from being send. Optionally, it can also interrupt the process to gain access to the
connection for async processing.
Most of the syncrhonization logic is encapsulated within these two classes. Some of it still
had to bleed over into the SendContinuePacketAndWaitForResponse, but the function is still much
more manageable than before -- partly because of most of the work is done in the ContinueLock
class, and partly because I have factored out a lot of the packet processing code separate
functions (this also makes the functionality more easily testable). Most importantly, there is
none of syncrhonization code in the async thread users -- as far as they are concerned, they just
need to declare a Lock object, and they are good to go (SendPacketAndWaitForResponse is now a
very thin wrapper around the NoLock version of the function, whereas previously it had over 100
lines of synchronization code). This will make my follow up changes there easy.
I have written a number of unit tests for the new code and I have ran the test suite on linux and
osx with no regressions.
