[lldb] Remove ProcessRunLock::TrySetRunning (#135455)
I traced the issue reported by Caroline and Pavel in #134757 back to the
call to ProcessRunLock::TrySetRunning. When that fails, we get a
somewhat misleading error message:

> process resume at entry point failed: Resume request failed - process
still running.

This is incorrect: the problem was not that the process was in a running
state, but rather that the RunLock was being held by another thread
(i.e. the Statusline). TrySetRunning would return false in both cases
and the call site only accounted for the former.

Besides the odd semantics, the current implementation is inherently
race-y and I believe incorrect. If someone is holding the RunLock, the
resume call should block, rather than give up, and with the lock held,
switch the running state and report the old running state.

This patch removes ProcessRunLock::TrySetRunning and updates all callers
to use ProcessRunLock::SetRunning instead. To support that,
ProcessRunLock::SetRunning (and ProcessRunLock::SetStopped, for
consistency) now report whether the process was stopped or running
respectively. Previously, both methods returned true unconditionally.

The old code has been around pretty much pretty much forever, there's
nothing in the git history to indicate that this was done purposely to
solve a particular issue. I've tested this on both Linux and macOS and
confirmed that this solves the statusline issue.

A big thank you to Jim for reviewing my proposed solution offline and
trying to poke holes in it.
