[lldb] Change the implementation of Status to store an llvm::Error (NFC) (#106774)

(based on a conversation I had with @labath yesterday in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/106442)

Most APIs that currently vend a Status would be better served by
returning llvm::Expected<> instead. If possibles APIs should be
refactored to avoid Status. The only legitimate long-term uses of Status
are objects that need to store an error for a long time (which should be
questioned as a design decision, too).

This patch makes the transition to llvm::Error easier by making the
places that cannot switch to llvm::Error explicit: They are marked with
a call to Status::clone(). Every other API can and should be refactored
to use llvm::Expected. In the end Status should only be used in very few
places.

Whenever an unchecked Error is dropped by Status it logs this to the
verbose API channel.

Implementation notes:

This patch introduces two new kinds of error_category as well as new
llvm::Error types. Here is the mapping of lldb::ErrorType to
llvm::Errors:
```
   (eErrorTypeInvalid)
   eErrorTypeGeneric      llvm::StringError
   eErrorTypePOSIX        llvm::ECError
   eErrorTypeMachKernel   MachKernelError
   eErrorTypeExpression   llvm::ErrorList<ExpressionError>
   eErrorTypeWin32        Win32Error
```

Relanding with built-in cloning support for llvm::ECError.
