Move the broadcasting support from GDBRemoteCommunication
to GDBRemoteClientBase since this is where it is actually used. Remove
GDBRemoteCommunication and subclass constructor arguments left over
after Communication cleanup.

Although I cannot find any mention of this in the specification, both
gdb and lldb agree on sending an initial + packet after establishing the
connection.
OTOH, gdbserver and lldb-server behavior is subtly different. While
lldb-server *expects* the initial ack, and drops the connection if it is
not received, gdbserver will just ignore a spurious ack at _any_ point
in the connection.
This patch changes lldb's behavior to match that of gdb. An ACK packet
is ignored at any point in the connection (except when expecting an ACK
packet, of course). This is inline with the "be strict in what you
generate, and lenient in what you accept" philosophy, and also enables
us to remove some special cases from the server code. I've extended the
same handling to NAK (-) packets, mainly because I don't see a reason to
treat them differently here.
(The background here is that we had a stub which was sending spurious
+ packets. This bug has since been fixed, but I think this change makes
sense nonetheless.)

LLDB has a few different styles of header guards and they're not very
consistent because things get moved around or copy/pasted. This patch
unifies the header guards across LLDB and converts everything to match
LLVM's style.

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.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

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.

the chrono library there uses long long as the underlying chrono type, but
defines int64_t as long (or the other way around, I am not sure). In any case,
this caused the implicit conversion to not trigger. This should address that.
Also fix up the relevant unit test.
llvm-svn: 287867
After the reformat, the unittests do not compile due to missing due to redefinition errors
between PosixApi.h and ucrt/direct.h. This is a bit of a shot in the dark, as I have not tested
it on windows, but I am restoring the original include order, so it should hopefully fix it.

*** to conform to clang-format’s LLVM style. This kind of mass change has
*** two obvious implications:
Firstly, merging this particular commit into a downstream fork may be a huge
effort. Alternatively, it may be worth merging all changes up to this commit,
performing the same reformatting operation locally, and then discarding the
merge for this particular commit. The commands used to accomplish this
reformatting were as follows (with current working directory as the root of
the repository):
find . \( -iname "*.c" -or -iname "*.cpp" -or -iname "*.h" -or -iname "*.mm" \) -exec clang-format -i {} +
find . -iname "*.py" -exec autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive {} + ;
The version of clang-format used was 3.9.0, and autopep8 was 1.2.4.
Secondly, “blame” style tools will generally point to this commit instead of
a meaningful prior commit. There are alternatives available that will attempt
to look through this change and find the appropriate prior commit. YMMV.

This started as an effort to change StringExtractor to store a
StringRef internally instead of a std::string. I got that working
locally with just 1 test failure which I was unable to figure out the
cause of. But it was also a massive changelist due to a trickle
down effect of changes.
So I'm starting over, using what I learned from the first time to
tackle smaller, more isolated changes hopefully leading up to
a full conversion by the end.
At first the changes (such as in this CL) will seem mostly
a matter of preference and pointless otherwise. However, there
are some places in my larger CL where using StringRef turned 20+
lines of code into 2, drastically simplifying logic. Hopefully
once these go in they will illustrate some of the benefits of
thinking in terms of StringRef.

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.
