Closes #82949.

python_lldb.py gives LLDB the object summaries and py-* commands of python-gdb.py. It implements the part of the gdb API that Tools/gdb/libpython.py uses and runs that module unchanged, so both debuggers share one implementation. Based on https://github.com/malor/cpython-lldb.

  • Issue: Add lldb equivalent to Tools/gdb #82949

This is easier to review commit by commit: each one is self-contained (adapter, build, tests, docs).
