This doesn't attempt to move every decorator. The reason for
this is that it requires touching every single test file to import
decorators.py. I would like to do this in a followup patch, but
in the interest of keeping the patches as bite-sized as possible,
I've only attempted to move the underlying common decorators first.
A few tests call these directly, so those tests are updated as part
of this patch.

My eventual goal is to move all of the test decorators to their
own module such as `decorators.py`. But some of the decorators
use existing functions in `lldbtest.py` and conceptually the
functions are probably more appropriately placed in lldbplatformutil.
Moreover, lldbtest.py is a huge file with a ton of random utility
functions scattered around, so this patch also workds toward the
goal of reducing the footprint of this one module to a more
reasonable size.
So this patch moves some of them over to lldbplatformutil with the
eventual goal of moving decorators over to their own module.

Absolute imports were introduced in Python 2.5 as a feature
(e.g. from __future__ import absolute_import), and made default
in Python 3.
When absolute imports are enabled, the import system changes in
a couple of ways:
1) The `import foo` syntax will *only* search sys.path. If `foo`
isn't in sys.path, it won't be found. Period. Without absolute
imports, the import system will also search the same directory
that the importing file resides in, so that you can easily
import from the same folder.
2) From inside a package, you can use a dot syntax to refer to higher
levels of the current package. For example, if you are in the
package lldbsuite.test.utility, then ..foo refers to
lldbsuite.test.foo. You can use this notation with the
`from X import Y` syntax to write intra-package references. For
example, using the previous locationa s a starting point, writing
`from ..support import seven` would import lldbsuite.support.seven
Since this is now the default behavior in Python 3, this means that
importing from the same directory with `import foo` *no longer works*.
As a result, the only way to have portable code is to force absolute
imports for all versions of Python.
See PEP 0328 [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/] for more
information about absolute and relative imports.

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`).
