Jorge Gorbe Moya d76566417e [lldb] Add matching based on Python callbacks for data formatters.
This patch adds a new matching method for data formatters, in addition
to the existing exact typename and regex-based matching. The new method
allows users to specify the name of a Python callback function that
takes a `SBType` object and decides whether the type is a match or not.

Here is an overview of the changes performed:

- Add a new `eFormatterMatchCallback` matching type, and logic to handle
  it in `TypeMatcher` and `SBTypeNameSpecifier`.

- Extend `FormattersMatchCandidate` instances with a pointer to the
  current `ScriptInterpreter` and the `TypeImpl` corresponding to the
  candidate type, so we can run registered callbacks and pass the type
  to them. All matcher search functions now receive a
  `FormattersMatchCandidate` instead of a type name.

- Add some glue code to ScriptInterpreterPython and the SWIG bindings to
  allow calling a formatter matching callback. Most of this code is
  modeled after the equivalent code for watchpoint callback functions.

- Add an API test for the new callback-based matching feature.
