Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [lldb] Add Policy infrastructure

Add a generic thread-local policy stack and a Policy
struct that describes what view of the process a thread should see
(private reality vs public illusion) and what operations it is allowed
to perform.

This is the infrastructure for replacing ad-hoc host thread identity
checks (CurrentThreadIsPrivateStateThread, IsOnThread, etc.) with a
unified, composable mechanism. No behavioral changes yet -- adoption
will follow in subsequent patches.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [lldb] Adopt Policy for private state thread
 identification

Replace the ad-hoc PrivateStateThreadGuard (a thread_local bool with
RAII wrapper) with the new Policy infrastructure.

RunThreadPlan and RunPrivateStateThread now push
Policy::PrivateState() onto the per-thread policy
stack. GetStackFrameList checks the policy's view field instead of
PrivateStateThreadGuard::IsPrivateStateThread().

This is a strict NFC refactor -- the same decisions are made, the same
code paths are taken. The PrivateStateThreadGuard struct is removed
from Process.h.
