[Dexter] Add DAP support for Dexter, including lldb-dap (#149394)

This patch adds a new variety of driver to Dexter, allowing it to work
with DAP-based interfaces for debuggers. The first concrete instance of
this is implemented in this patch, adding support for an `lldb-dap`
debugger. This is functionally very similar to the existing LLDB
debugger support*, but uses lldb-dap as its executable instead of lldb.

This has been tested successfully against the existing feature_test
suite, and manually tested against some other inputs; support is
essentially complete, although any further DAP-based debuggers may
require additional hooks inserted into the base class to deal with any
idiosyncrasies they exhibit (as with the several that have been inserted
for lldb-dap).

NB: There are some small differences resulting from differences between
lldb-dap's use of the lldb API and Dexter's use in its lldb driver; one
small example of this is when evaluating variables, lldb-dap will try to
first use `GetValueForVariablePath` and fallback to `EvaluateExpression`
if necessary, while Dexter will always use `EvaluateExpression`; these
can give slightly different results, resulting in different output from
Dexter for the same input.

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.
