6bb8da04a0 libdrgn: omit trailing comma when formatting one-line array
This is somewhat arbitrary, but I think it looks more natural to only
use the trailing comma for multi-line initializers.

cf3a07bdfb libdrgn: python: replace Object.__format__ with Object.format_
We'd like to have more control over how objects are formatted. I
considered defining a custom string format specification syntax, but
that's not easily discoverable. Instead, let's get rid of the current
format specification support and replace it with a normal method.

0df2152307 Add basic class type support
This implements the first step at supporting C++: class types. In
particular, this adds a new drgn_type_kind, DRGN_TYPE_CLASS, and support
for parsing DW_TAG_class_type from DWARF. Although classes are not valid
in C, this adds support for pretty printing them, for completeness.

b8c657d760 libdrgn: python: add sizeof()
It's annoying to do obj.type_.size, and that doesn't even work for every
type. Add sizeof() that does the right thing whether it's given a Type
or Object.

430732093d libdrgn: python: add converter for byteorder
Rather than open-coding the conversion where we need it, make it a
proper converter function.

55a9700435 libdrgn: python: accept integer-like arguments in more places
There are a few places (e.g., Program.symbol(), Program.read()) where it
makes sense to accept, e.g., a drgn.Object with integer type. Replace
index_arg() with a converter function and use it everywhere that we use
the "K" format for PyArg_Parse*.

0c5df56fba libdrgn: replace symbol index with object index
struct drgn_symbol doesn't really represent a symbol; it's just an
object which hasn't been fully initialized (see c2be52dff0 ("libdrgn:
rename object index to symbol index"), it used to be called a "partial
object"). For stack traces, we're going to have a notion of a symbol
that more closely represents an ELF symbol, so let's get rid of the
temporary struct drgn_symbol representation and just return an object
directly.

baba1ff3f0 libdrgn: make program components pluggable
Currently, programs can be created for three main use-cases: core dumps,
the running kernel, and a running process. However, internally, the
program memory, types, and symbols are pluggable. Expose that as a
callback API, which makes it possible to use drgn in much more creative
ways.

7282c40a75 libdrgn: fix crash in drgn_object_slice()
We need to set the value after we've reinitialized the object, otherwise
drgn_object_deinit() may try to free a buffer that we've already
overwritten. This also adds a test which triggers the crash.

97f5cf70c6 libdrgn: fix C array and function casting
Casting an array or function should first convert the array or function
into a pointer.

1db8d11f84 libdrgn: allow void pointer arithmetic
This is a GCC extension, but it's used pretty often in practice.

309dc82789 libdrgn: allow comparing any pointer types in C
There's a bug that we don't allow comparisons between void * and other
pointer types, so let's fix it by allowing all pointer comparisons
regardless of the referenced type. Although this isn't valid by the C
standard, GCC and Clang both allow it by default (with a warning).

73090f6128 libdrgn: fix error message for cast to incomplete type
The errant type is the one we're trying to cast to, not the object's
type. This fixes an abort in drgn_error_incomplete_type().

75c3679147 Rewrite drgn core in C
The current mixed Python/C implementation works well, but it has a
couple of important limitations:

- It's too slow for some common use cases, like iterating over large
  data structures.
- It can't be reused in utilities written in other languages.

This replaces the internals with a new library written in C, libdrgn. It
includes Python bindings with mostly the same public interface as
before, with some important improvements:

- Types are now represented by a single Type class rather than the messy
  polymorphism in the Python implementation.
- Qualifiers are a bitmask instead of a set of strings.
- Bit fields are not considered a separate type.
- The lvalue/rvalue terminology is replaced with reference/value.
- Structure, union, and array values are better supported.
- Function objects are supported.
- Program distinguishes between lookups of variables, constants, and
  functions.

The C rewrite is about 6x as fast as the original Python when using the
Python bindings, and about 8x when using the C API directly.

Currently, the exposed API in C is fairly conservative. In the future,
the memory reader, type index, and object index APIs will probably be
exposed for more flexibility.
