a4b9d68a8c Use GPL-3.0-or-later license identifier instead of GPL-3.0+
Apparently the latter is deprecated and the former is preferred.

aaa98ccae3 libdrgn: consistently use __ for __attribute__ names
In some places, we add __ preceding and following an attribute name, and
in some places, we don't. Let's make it consistent. We might as well opt
for the __ to make clashes with macros less likely.

286c09844e Clean up #includes with include-what-you-use
I recently hit a couple of CI failures caused by relying on transitive
includes that weren't always present. include-what-you-use is a
Clang-based tool that helps with this. It's a bit finicky and noisy, so
this adds scripts/iwyu.py to make running it more convenient (but not
reliable enough to automate it in Travis).

This cleans up all reasonable include-what-you-use warnings and
reorganizes a few header files.

8b264f8823 Update copyright headers to Facebook and add missing headers
drgn was originally my side project, but for awhile now it's also been
my work project. Update the copyright headers to reflect this, and add a
copyright header to various files that were missing it.

f08d4c9a08 libdrgn: make string_builder API return bool
It can only fail with no memory, so simplify it.

6d7b0631b9 libdrgn: simplify string_builder API
Instead of maintaining a null-terminated string, null-terminate just
before returning the string as a "finalize" step.

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.
