Reland "[lldb][RPC] Upstream lldb-rpc-gen tool" (#146969)" Attempt 2 (#148996)

Second attempt at relanding the lldb-rpc-gen tool. This should fix 2
issues:

- An assert that was hitting when building on Linux. The assert would
hit in the server source emitter, specifically when attemping to
determine the storage size for a return type is that is a pointer, but
isn't a const char *, const char ** or void pointer.

The assert would hit when attempting to generate
SBAttachInfo::GetProcessPluginName, which returns a const char *
(meaning it shouldn't have been in the code block for the assert at
all). The reason that it was hitting the assert when generating this
function is that lldb_rpc_gen::TypeIsConstCharPtr was returning false
for this function even though it did return a const char *. This was
happening because when checking the return type for a const char *,
TypeIsConstCharPtr would only check that the underlying type was a
signed char. This failed on Linux (but was fine on Darwin), as the
underlying type also needs to be checked for being an unsigned char.

- Cross compiling support

The build for lldb-rpc-gen had no support for cross compiling and as
such, the sources generated for lldb-rpc-gen would get compiled too
early in phase 2 when cross compiling, before the Clang toolchain was
built and this led to an error when trying to include stdlib files. This
reland splits this build into 2 by building the tool first and then
compiling the sources in the second stage of the cross-compiled build.

Original PR Description:
This commit upstreams the lldb-rpc-gen tool, a ClangTool that generates
the LLDB RPC client and server interfaces. This tool, as well as LLDB
RPC itself is built by default. If it needs to be disabled, put
-DLLDB_BUILD_LLDBRPC=OFF in your CMake invocation.

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.
