Add a debug-mode assert in the leaf CommandObjectParsed and CommandObjectRaw 
Execute paths that fires if DoExecute returns without calling SetStatus on the 
CommandReturnObject. Forgetting to set a status leaves the object in an 
undefined state and silently misreports success/failure to callers.

Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Assert that CommandObject::DoExecute sets a return
 status

Add a debug-mode assert in the leaf CommandObjectParsed and
CommandObjectRaw Execute paths that fires if DoExecute returns without
calling SetStatus on the CommandReturnObject. Forgetting to set a
status leaves the object in an undefined state and silently misreports
success/failure to callers.
