Summary:
On linux we need the process to give us special permissions before we can attach to it.
Previously, the code for this was copied into every file that needed it. This moves the code to a
central place to reduce code duplication.

This is a resubmit of r254403, see that commit's message for context. This fixes an issue in the
original commit, where we would incorrectly interrupt the process if the interrupt request came
just as we were about to send the stopped event to the public.
llvm-svn: 254902
Summary:
The following situation was occuring in TestAttachResume:
- we did a "continue" from a breakpoint (which involves a private start-stop to step over the
breakpoint)
- after receiving the stop-reply from the step-over, we issue a "detach" (which requires a
process interrupt)
- at this moment, the public state is "running", private state is "about-to-be-stopped" (the
stopped event was broadcast, but it was not received yet)
- StopForDestroyOrDetach (public thread) notes the public state is running, sends an interrupt
request to the private thread
- private thread gets the eBroadcastBitInterrupt (before the eStateStopped message), and asks the
process plugin to stop (via Halt())
- process plugin says it has nothing to do as the process is already stopped
- private thread shrugs and carries on. receives the stop event, restores the breakpoint and
resumes the process.
- after a while, the public thread times out and says it failed to stop the process
This patch does the following:
- splits Halt() into two functions, private and public, their usage depends on the context
- public Halt(): sends eBroadcastBitInterrupt to the private thread and waits for the Stop
event
- HaltPrivate(): asks the plugin to stop and makes a note that the halt was requested. When the
next stop event comes it sets the interrupt flag on it.
- removes HijackPrivateProcessEvents(), as the only user (old Halt()) has gone away
- removes the m_currently_handling_event hack, as the new Halt() does not need it
- adds a use_run_lock parameter to public Halt() and WaitForProcessToStop(). This was needed
because RunThreadPlan uses Halt() while holding the run lock and we don't want Halt() to take
it away from him.

This module was originally intended to be imported by top-level
scripts to be able to find the LLDB packages and third party
libraries. Packages themselves shouldn't need to import it,
because by the time it gets into the package, the top-level
script should have already done this. Indeed, it was just
adding the same values to sys.path multiple times, so this
patch is essentially no functional change.
To make sure it doesn't get re-introduced, we also delete the
`use_lldb_suite` module from `lldbsuite/test`, although the
original copy still remains in `lldb/test`
llvm-svn: 251963
Summary:
The code which was preventing the usage of the OS plugin while detach is in
progress also prevented us to update the thread list correctly. This resulted
in an empty thread list, which confused the detaching logic. Change the
condition do only do what it says (disable the usage of the OS plugin).

For convenience, we had added the folder that dotest.py was in
to sys.path, so that we could easily write things like
`import lldbutil` from anywhere and any test. This introduces
a subtle problem when using Python's package system, because when
unittest2 imports a particular test suite, the test suite is detached
from the package. Thus, writing "import lldbutil" from dotest imports
it as part of the package, and writing the same line from a test
does a fresh import since the importing module was not part of
the same package.
The real way to fix this is to use absolute imports everywhere. Instead
of writing "import lldbutil", we need to write "import
lldbsuite.test.util". This patch fixes up that and all other similar
cases, and additionally removes the script directory from sys.path
to ensure that this can't happen again.

This is the conclusion of an effort to get LLDB's Python code
structured into a bona-fide Python package. This has a number
of benefits, but most notably the ability to more easily share
Python code between different but related pieces of LLDB's Python
infrastructure (for example, `scripts` can now share code with
`test`).
