[lldb] Fix dynamic type resolution for types parsed from declarations (#137974)

This fixes a regression caused by us starting to parse types from
declarations. The code in TypeSystemClang was assuming that the value
held in ClangASTMetadata was authoritative, but this isn't (and cannot)
be the case when the type is parsed from a forward-declaration.

For the fix, I add a new "don't know" state to ClangASTMetadata, and
make sure DWARFASTParserClang sets it only when it encounters a forward
declaration. In this case, the type system will fall back to completing
the type.

This does mean that we will be completing more types than before, but
I'm hoping this will offset by the fact that we don't search for
definition DIEs eagerly. In particular, I don't expect it to make a
difference in -fstandalone-debug scenarios, since types will nearly
always be present as definitions.

To avoid this cost, we'd need to create some sort of a back channel to
query the DWARFASTParser about the dynamicness of the type without
actually completing it. I'd like to avoid that if it is not necessary.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
