fde9c2ab6405076c26958cd71c60e5e25d8d8047 [lldb-server/android] Show more processes by relaxing some checks
By default `platform process list` only shows the processes of the current user that lldb-server can parse.
There are several problems:
- apk programs don't have an executable file. They instead use a package name as identifier. We should show them instead.
- each apk also runs under a different user. That's how android works
- because of the user permission, some files like /proc/<pid>/{environ,exe} can't be read.
This results in a very small process list.
This is a local run on my machine
```
(lldb) platform process list
2 matching processes were found on "remote-android"
PID PARENT USER TRIPLE NAME
====== ====== ========== ======================== ============================
23291 3177 aarch64-unknown-linux-android sh
23301 23291 aarch64-unknown-linux-android lldb-server
```
However, I have 700 processes running at this time.
By implementing a few fallbacks for android, I've expanded this list to 202, filtering out kernel processes, which would presumably appear in this list if the device was rooted.

Something to notice is that the architecture is unkonwn for all apks. And that's fine, because run-as would be required to gather this information and that would make this entire functionality massively slow.
There are still several improvements to make here, like displaying actual user names, which I'll try to do in a following diff.
Note: Regarding overall apk debugging support from lldb. I'm planning on having lldb spawn lldb-server by itself with the correct user, so that everything works well. The initial lldb-server used for connecting to the remote platform can be reused for such purpose. Furthermore, eventually lldb could also launch that initial lldb-server on its own.
