drgn is currently licensed as GPLv3+. Part of the long term vision for
drgn is that other projects can use it as a library providing
programmatic interfaces for debugger functionality. A more permissive
license is better suited to this goal. We decided on LGPLv2.1+ as a good
balance between software freedom and permissiveness.
All contributors not employed by Meta were contacted via email and
consented to the license change. The only exception was the author of
commit c4fbf7e589 ("libdrgn: fix for compilation error"), who did not
respond. That commit reverted a single line of code to one originally
written by me in commit 640b1c011d ("libdrgn: embed DWARF index in
DWARF info cache").

LEB128 allows for redundant zero/sign bits, but we currently always
treat extra bytes as overflow. Let's check those bytes correctly.

Add support for evaluating a DWARF location description and translating
it into a drgn object. In this commit, this is just used for global
variables, but an upcoming commit will wire this up to stack traces for
parameters and local variables.
There are a few locations that drgn's object model can't represent yet.
DW_OP_piece/DW_OP_bit_piece can describe objects that are only partially
known or partially in memory; we approximate these where we can. We
don't have a good way to support DW_OP_implicit_pointer at all yet.
This also adds test cases for DWARF expressions, which we couldn't
easily test before.
