After all of the preparatory work, the last two missing pieces are a way
to find a variable by name in the list of scopes that we saved while
unwinding, and a way to find the containing scopes of an inlined
function. With that, we can finally look up parameters and variables in
stack traces.

If we want to access a parameter or local variable in an inlined
function, then we need a stack frame for that function. It's also much
more useful to see inlined functions in the stack trace in general. So,
when we've unwound the registers for a stack frame, walk the debugging
information to find all of the (possibly inlined) functions at the
program counter, and add a drgn stack frame for each of those.
Also add StackFrame.name and StackFrame.is_inline so that we can
distinguish inline frames. Also add StackFrame.source() to get the
filename and line and column numbers. Finally, add the source code
location to pretty-printed stack traces and add pretty-printing for
individual stack frames that includes extra information.

The elfutils DWARF unwinder has a couple of limitations:
1. libdwfl doesn't have an interface for getting register values, so we
have to bundle a patched version of elfutils with drgn.
2. Error handling is very awkward: dwfl_getthread_frames() can return an
error even on success, so we have to squirrel away our own errors in
the callback.
Furthermore, there are a couple of things that will be easier with our
own unwinder:
1. Integrating unwinding using ORC will be easier when we're handling
unwinding ourselves.
2. Support for local variables isn't too far away now that we have DWARF
expression evaluation.
Now that we have the register state, CFI, and DWARF expression pieces in
place, stitch them together with the new unwinder, and tweak the public
API a bit to reflect it.

Currently, reference objects and buffer value objects have a byte order.
However, this doesn't always make sense for a couple of reasons:
- Byte order is only meaningful for scalars. What does it mean for a
struct to be big endian? A struct doesn't have a most or least
significant byte; its scalar members do.
- The DWARF specification allows either types or variables to have a
byte order (DW_AT_endianity). The only producer I could find that uses
this is GCC for the scalar_storage_order type attribute, and it only
uses it for base types, not variables. GDB only seems to use to check
it for base types, as well.
So, remove the byte order from objects, and move it to integer, boolean,
floating-point, and pointer types. This model makes more sense, and it
means that we can get the binary representation of any object now.
The only downside is that we can no longer support a bit offset for
non-scalars, but as far as I can tell, nothing needs that.

We've nominally supported complex types since commit 75c3679147
("Rewrite drgn core in C"), but parsing them from DWARF has been

someone requests it.

enum drgn_register_number in the public libdrgn API and
drgn.Register.number in the Python bindings are basically exports of
DWARF register numbers. They only exist as a way to identify registers
that's lighter weight than string lookups. libdrgn already has struct
drgn_register, so we can use that to identify registers in the public
API and remove enum drgn_register_number. This has a couple of benefits:
we don't depend on DWARF numbering in our API, and we don't have to
generate drgn.h from the architecture files. The Python bindings can
just use string names for now. If it seems useful, StackFrame.register()
can take a Register in the future, we'll just need to be careful to not
allow Registers from the wrong platform.
While we're changing the API anyways, also change it so that registers
have a list of names instead of one name. This isn't needed for x86-64
at the moment, but will be for architectures that have multiple names
for the same register (like ARM).

Add struct drgn_type_template_parameter to libdrgn, the corresponding
TypeTemplateParameter to the Python bindings, and support for parsing
them from DWARF.
With this, support for templates is almost, but not quite, complete. The
main wart is that DW_TAG_name of compound types includes the template
parameters, so the type tag includes it as well. We should remove that
from the tag and instead have the type formatting code add it only when
getting the full type name.
Based on a patch from Jay Kamat.

In order to support static members, methods, default function arguments,

There are a couple of reasons that it was the wrong choice to have a
bit_offset for value objects:
1. When we store a buffer with a bit_offset, we're storing useless
padding bits.
2. bit_offset describes a location, or in other words, part of an
address. This makes sense for references, but not for values, which
are just a bag of bytes.
Get rid of union drgn_value.bit_offset in libdrgn, make
Object.bit_offset None for value objects, and disallow passing
bit_offset to the Object() constructor when creating a value. bit_offset
can still be passed when creating an object from a buffer, but we'll
shift the bytes down as necessary to store the value with no offset.

Having the signature in the class line is awkward, especially when

There are some situations where we can find an object but can't
determine its value, like local variables that have been optimized out,
inlined functions without a concrete instance, and pure virtual methods.

I originally did it this way because pydoc doesn't handle non-trivial
defaults in signature very well (see commit 67a16a09b8 ("tests: test

clean up the typing.

I originally envisioned types as dumb descriptors. This mostly works for
C because in C, types are fairly simple. However, even then the
drgn_program_member_info() API is awkward. You should be able to look up
a member directly from a type, but we need the program for caching
purposes. This has also held me back from adding offsetof() or
has_member() APIs.
Things get even messier with C++. C++ template parameters can be objects
(e.g., template <int N>). Such parameters would best be represented by a
drgn object, which we need a drgn program for. Static members are a
similar case.
So, let's reimagine types as being owned by a program. This has a few
parts:
1. In libdrgn, simple types are now created by factory functions,
drgn_foo_type_create().
2. To handle their variable length fields, compound types, enum types,
and function types are constructed with a "builder" API.
3. Simple types are deduplicated.
4. The Python type factory functions are replaced by methods of the
Program class.
5. While we're changing the API, the parameters to pointer_type() and
array_type() are reordered to be more logical (and to allow
pointer_type() to take a default size of None for the program's
default pointer size).
6. Likewise, the type factory methods take qualifiers as a keyword
argument only.
A big part of this change is updating the tests and splitting up large
test cases into smaller ones in a few places.

The helpers implemented in C have Python wrappers only for the purpose
of documentation. This is because drgndoc ignores all imports when
recursively documenting attributes. However, mypy uses the convention
that aliased imports (i.e., import ... as ... or from ... import ... as
...) are considered re-exported, so we can follow that convention and
include aliased imports. (mypy also considered attributes in __all__ as
re-exported, so we should probably follow that in the future, too, but
for now aliased imports are enough). This lets us get rid of the Python
wrappers.

It's annoying to have to do value= when creating objects, especially in
interactive mode. Let's allow passing in the value positionally so that
`Object(prog, "int", value=0)` becomes `Object(prog, "int", 0)`. It's
clear enough that this is creating an int with value 0.
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.
For functions that call a noreturn function, the compiler may omit code
after the call instruction. This means that the return address may not
lie in the caller's symbol. dwfl_frame_pc() returns whether a frame is
an "activation", i.e., its program counter is guaranteed to lie within
the caller. This is only the case for the initial frame, frames
interrupted by a signal, and the signal trampoline frame. For everything
else, we need to decrement the program counter before doing any lookups.
I've found that I do this manually a lot (e.g., when digging through a
task's stack). Add shortcuts for reading unsigned integers and a note
for how to manually read other formats.
In obj[idx], idx can also be another Object. Technically, it can be
anything that implements __index__() (), but typing.SupportsIndex was added
in v3.8. For now, allow Object explicitly.
mypy only uses the annotated return type of __getattribute__() for
attributes which aren't otherwise annotated, so we can annotate it as
returning Object.
mypy complains about these functions not existing, so add stubs to let
mypy know they exist. In the future, we probably want the docstring to
be in these stubs and use them directly instead of wrapping them in
Python, but that's for another day.
For operations where we don't have a type available, we currently fall
back to C. Instead, we should guess the language of the program and use
that as the default. The heurisitic implemented here gets the language
of the CU containing "main" (except for the Linux kernel, which is
always C). In the future, we should allow manually overriding the
automatically determined language.
For types obtained from DWARF, we determine it from the language of the
CU. For other types, it can be specified manually or fall back to the
default (C). Then, we can use the language for operations where the type
is available.
