…functions and use LLVM style (llvm#135031)

I've always found this hard to read. Some upcoming changes make similar
computations, so I thought it's a good time to factor out this logic
into re-usable helpers and clean it up using LLVM's preferred
early-return style.

(cherry picked from commit f030f6f)
…me into helpers and use LLVM style (llvm#135331)

Same cleanup as in llvm#135031. It
pretty much is the same code that we had to duplicate in the language
plugin. Maybe eventually we'll find a way of getting rid of the
duplication.

(cherry picked from commit b656915)
…by reference (llvm#135536)

Both the `CPlusPlusLanguage` plugins and the Swift language plugin
already assume the `sc != nullptr`. And all `FormatEntity` callsites of
`GetFunctionDisplayName` already check for nullptr before passing `sc`.
This patch makes this pre-condition explicit by changing the parameter
to `const SymbolContext &`. This will help with some upcoming changes in
this area.

(cherry picked from commit 52e45a7)
…vailable (llvm#135343)

When a frame is inlined, LLDB will display its name in backtraces as
follows:
```
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.3
  * frame #0: 0x0000000100000398 a.out`func() [inlined] baz(x=10) at inline.cpp:1:42
    frame #1: 0x0000000100000398 a.out`func() [inlined] bar() at inline.cpp:2:37
    frame #2: 0x0000000100000398 a.out`func() at inline.cpp:4:15
    frame #3: 0x00000001000003c0 a.out`main at inline.cpp:7:5
    frame #4: 0x000000026eb29ab8 dyld`start + 6812
```
The longer the names get the more confusing this gets because the first
function name that appears is the parent frame. My assumption (which may
need some more surveying) is that for the majority of cases we only care
about the actual frame name (not the parent). So this patch removes all
the special logic that prints the parent frame.

Another quirk of the current format is that the inlined frame name does
not abide by the `${function.name-XXX}` format variables. We always just
print the raw demangled name. With this patch, we would format the
inlined frame name according to the `frame-format` setting (see the
test-cases).

If we really want to have the `parentFrame [inlined] inlinedFrame`
format, we could expose it through a new `frame-format` variable (e..g.,
`${function.inlined-at-name}` and let the user decide where to place
things.

One can use `FormatStringRef` instead anyway

…tBuffer (llvm#133249)

This patch includes the necessary changes for the LLDB feature proposed
in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-lldb-highlighting-function-names-in-lldb-backtraces/85309.
The TL;DR is that we want to track where certain parts of a demangled
name begin/end so we can highlight them in backtraces.

We introduce a new `printLeft`/`printRight` API on `OutputBuffer` that a
client (in our case LLDB) can implement to track state while printing
the demangle tree. This requires redirecting all calls to to
`printLeft`/`printRight` to the `OutputBuffer`. One quirk with the new
API is that `Utility.h` would now depend on `ItaniumDemangle.h` and
vice-versa. To keep these files header-only I made the definitions
`inline` and implement the new APIs in `ItaniumDemangle.h` (so the
definition of `Node` is available to them).

Also introduces `notifyInsertion`/`notifyDeletion` APIs that a client can override to respond to cases where the `OutputBuffer` changes arbitrary parts of the name.

(cherry picked from commit 889dad7)
…er parameters

I noticed that there are test-cases that are commented out. But the
manglings for them seem to be impossible to generate from valid C++. I
added two test-cases generated from following C++ program:
```
struct X {
    int func() const && { return 5; }
    const int &&func2() { return 5; }
    const int &&func3(const int &x) volatile { return 5; }
};

void f(int (X::*)() const &&, int const && (X::*)(),
       int const && (X::*)(const int &) volatile) {}

int main() {
    f(&X::func, &X::func2, &X::func3);
    return 0;
}
```

(cherry picked from commit 46f18b7)
…tion (llvm#131836)

This patch implements a new `TrackingOutputBuffer` which tracks where the scope/basename/arguments begin and end in the demangled string.

The idea that a function name can be decomposed into <scope, base, arguments>. The assumption is that given the ranges of those three elements and the demangled name, LLDB will be able to to reconstruct the full demangled name. The tracking of those ranges is pretty simple. We don’t ever deal with nesting, so whenever we recurse into a template argument list or another function type, we just stop tracking any positions. Once we recursed out of those, and are back to printing the top-level function name, we continue tracking the positions.

We introduce a new structure `FunctionNameInfo` that holds all this information and is stored in the new `TrackingOutputBuffer` class.

Tests are in `ItaniumDemangleTest.cpp`.

…#131836)

Add version of GetDemangledName that will force re-demangling. This is required because LLDB will SetDemangledName without going through the demangler. So we need a way to force demangling to set the m_demangled_info member when we need it.

llvm#131836
(cherry picked from commit f220ea2)
Uses the `TrackingOutputBuffer` to populate the new member `Mangled::m_demangled_info`.

`m_demangled_info` is lazily popluated by `GetDemangledInfo`. To ensure `m_demangled` and `m_demangled_info` are in-sync we clear `m_demangled_info` anytime `m_demangled` is set/cleared.

llvm#131836
(cherry picked from commit a267225)
llvm#131836)

Adds new frame-format variables and implements them in the CPlusPlusLanguage plugin.

We use the `DemangledNameInfo` type to retrieve the necessary part of the demangled name.

llvm#131836
(cherry picked from commit 8b91b44)
…etting (llvm#131836)

Adds the new `plugin.cplusplus.display.function-name-format` setting and makes the `${function.name-with-args}` query it for formatting the function name.

One caveat is that the setting can't itself be set to `${function.name-with-args}` because that would cause infinite recursion and blow the stack. I added an XFAILed test-case for it and will address it in a follow-up patch.

This wasn't defined correctly and was unused. And it was causing a CI

It's not quite clear to me why this wasn't compiling but either way this
is cleaner.

(cherry picked from commit cc0bdb3)
All of these were failing on Windows CI. Some are failing because
breakpoints on template functions can't be set by name. Others are
failing because of slight textual differences. Most are failing because
we can't track components of a mangled name from PDB, so XFAIL those.

(cherry picked from commit e6f7e34)
These don't make sense for PDB on Windows

(cherry picked from commit 7581aa1)
This was XPASSing on the linux-win remote CI jobs.
Since we're now compiling with DWARF (not PDB), lets see if these pass
on Windows again.

(cherry picked from commit 8a5bc9e)
These are failing for various reasons on CI, most likely due to us
requiring the Microsoft mangler. So XFAIL these.
