[lldb/test] Move gdb client utils into the packages tree

This infrastructure has proven proven its worth, so give it a more
prominent place.

My immediate motivation for this is the desire to reuse this
infrastructure for qemu platform testing, but I believe this move makes
sense independently of that. Moving this code to the packages tree will
allow as to add more structure to the gdb client tests -- currently they
are all crammed into the same test folder as that was the only way they
could access this code.

I'm splitting the code into two parts while moving it. The first once
contains just the generic gdb protocol wrappers, while the other one
contains the unit test glue. The reason for that is that for qemu
testing, I need to run the gdb code in a separate process, so I will
only be using the first part there.

[lldb][testsuite] Create a SBDebugger instance for each test

[lldb][testsuite] Create a SBDebugger instance for each test

Some tests set settings and don't clean them up, this leads to side effects in other tests.
The patch removes a global debugger instance with a per-test debugger to avoid such effects.

From what I see, lldb.DBG was needed to determine the platform before a test is run,
lldb.selected_platform is used for this purpose now. Though, this required adding a new function
to the SBPlatform interface.

[lldb/gdb-remote] Add support for the qOffsets packet

Summary:
This packet is necessary to make lldb work with the remote-gdb stub in
user mode qemu when running position-independent binaries. It reports
the relative position (load bias) of the loaded executable wrt. the
addresses in the file itself.

Lldb needs to know this information in order to correctly set the load
address of the executable. Normally, lldb would be able to find this out
on its own by following the breadcrumbs in the process auxiliary vector,
but we can't do this here because qemu does not support the
qXfer:auxv:read packet.

This patch does not implement full scope of the qOffsets packet (it only
supports packets with identical code, data and bss offsets), because it
is not fully clear how should the different offsets be handled and I am
not aware of a producer which would make use of this feature (qemu will
always
<https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/linux-user/elfload.c#L2436>
return the same value for code and data offsets). In fact, even gdb
ignores the offset for the bss sections, and uses the "data" offset
instead. So, until the we need more of this packet, I think it's best
to stick to the simplest solution possible. This patch simply rejects
replies with non-uniform offsets.
