Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [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 2/3] [lldb] Adopt Policy for private/public view and
 capability decisions

Push Policy::PrivateState() at all sites where the private state
thread needs to see the private reality instead of the public illusion:

  - StopInfoBreakpoint::ShouldStopSynchronous (sync callbacks, WasHit)
  - StopInfoBreakpoint::PerformAction (async callbacks, conditions)
  - StopInfoWatchpoint::ShouldStopSynchronous
  - StopInfoWatchpoint::PerformAction
  - RunThreadPlan (original PST during expression evaluation)
  - RunPrivateStateThread (override PSTs)

Consult the policy at all view decision points:

  - Process::GetState() -- private vs public state
  - Target::GetAPIMutex() -- private vs public mutex
  - PrivateStateThread::GetRunLock() -- private vs public run lock
  - Thread::GetStackFrameList() -- parent vs provider-augmented frames
  - StackFrameList::SelectMostRelevantFrame() -- skip frame recognizers
  - StopInfoBreakpoint::PerformAction() -- skip breakpoint actions

The existing host thread identity checks remain as fallbacks until
Policy is pushed for all PSTs unconditionally.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [lldb] Use Policy for ProcessRunLock re-entrancy

When SB API code enters a frame provider's Python callback and the
callback calls back into the SB API, the inner call tries to
re-acquire the same ProcessRunLock read lock. On a write-preferring
rwlock, a pending writer (e.g. the override PST calling SetStopped)
blocks the re-entrant reader, causing a deadlock.

Fix this by having ProcessRunLocker::TryLock push a policy with
holds_run_lock=true after acquiring the real lock. Re-entrant
ReadTryLock calls check this flag and skip the rwlock entirely.
ProcessRunLocker::Unlock pops the policy before releasing the lock.

This replaces the previous thread_local unordered_map workaround
with the Policy framework.

+Test that ProcessRunLock re-entrant read locks don't deadlock when a frame

+
+  - The client thread's re-entrant ReadTryLock blocks because the pending
+    writer prevents new readers on a write-preferring rwlock.
