[lldb] Prevent object file plugins from changing the data buffer

The current design allows that the object file contents could be mapped
by one object file plugin and then used by another. Presumably the idea
here was to avoid mapping the same file twice.

This becomes an issue when one object file plugin wants to map the file
differently from the others. For example, ObjectFileELF needs to map its
memory as writable while others likeObjectFileMachO needs it to be
mapped read-only.

This patch prevents plugins from changing the buffer by passing them is
by value rather than by reference.

[NFC] Refactor symbol table parsing.

Symbol table parsing has evolved over the years and many plug-ins contained duplicate code in the ObjectFile::GetSymtab() that used to be pure virtual. With this change, the "Symbtab *ObjectFile::GetSymtab()" is no longer virtual and will end up calling a new "void ObjectFile::ParseSymtab(Symtab &symtab)" pure virtual function to actually do the parsing. This helps centralize the code for parsing the symbol table and allows the ObjectFile base class to do all of the common work, like taking the necessary locks and creating the symbol table object itself. Plug-ins now just need to parse when they are asked to parse as the ParseSymtab function will only get called once.

This is a retry of the original patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D113965 which was reverted. There was a deadlock in the Manual DWARF indexing code during symbol preloading where the module was asked on the main thread to preload its symbols, and this would in turn cause the DWARF manual indexing to use a thread pool to index all of the compile units, and if there were relocations on the debug information sections, these threads could ask the ObjectFile to load section contents, which could cause a call to ObjectFileELF::RelocateSection() which would ask for the symbol table from the module and it would deadlock. We can't lock the module in ObjectFile::GetSymtab(), so the solution I am using is to use a llvm::once_flag to create the symbol table object once and then lock the Symtab object. Since all APIs on the symbol table use this lock, this will prevent anyone from using the symbol table before it is parsed and finalized and will avoid the deadlock I mentioned. ObjectFileELF::GetSymtab() was never locking the module lock before and would put off creating the symbol table until somewhere inside ObjectFileELF::GetSymtab(). Now we create it one time inside of the ObjectFile::GetSymtab() and immediately lock it which should be safe enough. This avoids the deadlocks and still provides safety.

In order to enable piecemeal conversion, I am leaving some ConstStrings
in the lowest PluginManager layers. I'll convert those as the last step.

[lldb] Return StringRef from PluginInterface::GetPluginName

There is no reason why this function should be returning a ConstString.

While modifying these files, I also fixed several instances where
GetPluginName and GetPluginNameStatic were returning different strings.

I am not changing the return type of GetPluginNameStatic in this patch, as that
would necessitate additional changes, and this patch is big enough as it is.
