[lldb] Add support for large watchpoints in lldb (#79962)
This patch is the next piece of work in my Large Watchpoint proposal, https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-large-watchpoint-support-in-lldb/72116 This patch breaks a user's watchpoint into one or more WatchpointResources which reflect what the hardware registers can cover. This means we can watch objects larger than 8 bytes, and we can watched unaligned address ranges. On a typical 64-bit target with 4 watchpoint registers you can watch 32 bytes of memory if the start address is doubleword aligned. Additionally, if the remote stub implements AArch64 MASK style watchpoints (e.g. debugserver on Darwin), we can watch any power-of-2 size region of memory up to 2GB, aligned to that same size. I updated the Watchpoint constructor and CommandObjectWatchpoint to create a CompilerType of Array<UInt8> when the size of the watched region is greater than pointer-size and we don't have a variable type to use. For pointer-size and smaller, we can display the watc...
