[lldb][NFC] Fix all formatting errors in .cpp file headers

Summary:
A *.cpp file header in LLDB (and in LLDB) should like this:
```
//===-- TestUtilities.cpp -------------------------------------------------===//
```
However in LLDB most of our source files have arbitrary changes to this format and
these changes are spreading through LLDB as folks usually just use the existing
source files as templates for their new files (most notably the unnecessary
editor language indicator `-*- C++ -*-` is spreading and in every review
someone is pointing out that this is wrong, resulting in people pointing out that this
is done in the same way in other files).

This patch removes most of these inconsistencies including the editor language indicators,
all the different missing/additional '-' characters, files that center the file name, missing
trailing `===//` (mostly caused by clang-format breaking the line).

Summary:
The last responsibility of the SymbolVendor was to hold an owning
reference to the object file (in case symbols are being read from a
different file than the main module). As SymbolFile classes already hold
a non-owning reference to the object file, we can easily remove this
responsibility of the SymbolVendor by making the SymbolFile reference
owning.

SymbolVendor: Move locking into the Symbol Files

Summary:
The last bit of functionality in SymbolVendor passthrough functions is
the locking the module mutex. While it may be nice doing the locking in
a central place, we weren't really succesful in doing that right now,
because some SymbolFile function could still be called without going
through the SymbolVendor. This meant in SymbolFileDWARF (the only
battle-tested symbol file implementation) roughly a half of the
functions was taking additional locks and another half was asserting
that the lock is already held. By making the SymbolFile responsible for
locking, we can at least make the situation in SymbolFileDWARF more
consistent.

SymbolVendor: Move compile unit handling into the SymbolFile class

Summary:
SymbolFile classes are responsible for creating CompileUnit instances
and they already need to have a notion of the id<->CompileUnit mapping
(because of APIs like ParseCompileUnitAtIndex). However, the
SymbolVendor has remained as the thing responsible for caching created
units (which the SymbolFiles were calling via convoluted constructs like
"m_obj_file->GetModule()->GetSymbolVendor()->SetCompileUnitAtIndex(...)").

This patch moves the responsibility of caching the units into the
SymbolFile class. It does this by moving the implementation of
SymbolVendor::{GetNumCompileUnits,GetCompileUnitAtIndex} into the
equivalent SymbolFile functions. The SymbolVendor functions become just
a passthrough much like the rest of SymbolVendor.

The original implementations of SymbolFile::GetNumCompileUnits is moved
to "CalculateNumCompileUnits", and are made protected, as the "Get"
function is the external api of the class.
SymbolFile::ParseCompileUnitAtIndex is made protected for the same
reason.

This is the first step in removing the SymbolVendor indirection, as
proposed in
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/lldb-dev/2019-June/015071.html>. After
removing all interesting logic from the SymbolVendor class, I'll proceed
with removing the indirection itself.

[lldb] NFC modernize codebase with modernize-use-nullptr

Summary:
NFC = [[ https://llvm.org/docs/Lexicon.html#nfc | Non functional change ]]

This commit is the result of modernizing the LLDB codebase by using
`nullptr` instread of `0` or `NULL`. See
https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/modernize-use-nullptr.html
for more information.

This is the command I ran and I to fix and format the code base:

```
run-clang-tidy.py \
-header-filter='.*' \
-checks='-*,modernize-use-nullptr' \
-fix ~/dev/llvm-project/lldb/.* \
-format \
-style LLVM \
-p ~/llvm-builds/debug-ninja-gcc
```

NOTE: There were also changes to `llvm/utils/unittest` but I did not
include them because I felt that maybe this library shall be updated in
isolation somehow.

NOTE: I know this is a rather large commit but it is a nobrainer in most
parts.

[NFC] Remove ASCII lines from comments

A lot of comments in LLDB are surrounded by an ASCII line to delimit the
begging and end of the comment.

Its use is not really consistent across the code base, sometimes the
lines are longer, sometimes they are shorter and sometimes they are
omitted. Furthermore, it looks kind of weird with the 80 column limit,
where the comment actually extends past the line, but not by much.
Furthermore, when /// is used for Doxygen comments, it looks
particularly odd. And when // is used, it incorrectly gives the
impression that it's actually a Doxygen comment.

I assume these lines were added to improve distinguishing between
comments and code. However, given that todays editors and IDEs do a
great job at highlighting comments, I think it's worth to drop this for
the sake of consistency. The alternative is fixing all the
inconsistencies, which would create a lot more churn.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

[SymbolFile] Rename ParseFunctionBlocks to ParseBlocksRecursive.

This method took a SymbolContext but only actually cared about the
case where the m_function member was set. Furthermore, it was
intended to be implemented to parse blocks recursively despite not
documenting this in its name. So we change the name to indicate
that it should be recursive, while also limiting the function
parameter to be a Function&. This lets the caller know what is
required to use it, as well as letting new implementers know what
kind of inputs they need to be prepared to handle.

Change SymbolFile::ParseTypes to ParseTypesForCompileUnit.

The function SymbolFile::ParseTypes previously accepted a SymbolContext.
This makes it extremely difficult to implement faithfully, because you
have to account for all possible combinations of members being set in
the SymbolContext. On the other hand, no clients of this function
actually care about implementing this function to this strict of a
standard. AFAICT, there is actually only 1 client in the entire
codebase, and it is the function ParseAllDebugSymbols, which is itself
only called for testing purposes when dumping information. At this
call-site, the only field it sets is the CompileUnit, meaning that an
implementer of a SymbolFile need not worry about any examining or
handling any other fields which might be set.

By restricting this API to accept exactly a CompileUnit& and nothing
more, we can simplify the life of new SymbolFile plugin implementers by
making it clear exactly what the necessary and sufficient set of
functionality they need to implement is, while at the same time removing
some dead code that tried to handle other types of SymbolContext fields
that were never going to be set anyway.

Don't type-erase the SymbolContextItem enumeration.

When we get the `resolve_scope` parameter from the SB API, it's a
`uint32_t`. We then pass it through all of LLDB this way, as a uint32.
This is unfortunate, because it means the user of an API never actually
knows what they're dealing with. We can call it something like
`resolve_scope` and have comments saying "this is a value from the
`SymbolContextItem` enumeration, but it makes more sense to just have it
actually *be* the correct type in the actual C++ type system to begin
with. This way the person reading the code just knows what it is.

The reason to use integers instead of enumerations for flags is because
when you do bitwise operations on enumerations they get promoted to
integers, so it makes it tedious to constantly be casting them back
to the enumeration types, so I've introduced a macro to make this
happen magically. By writing LLDB_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM after defining
an enumeration, it will define overloaded operators so that the
returned type will be the original enum. This should address all
the mechanical issues surrounding using rich enum types directly.

This way, we get a better debugger experience, and new users to
the codebase can get more easily acquainted with the codebase because
their IDE features can help them understand what the types mean.
