    Added support for attaching to a remote debug server with the new command: · b766a73d

    (lldb) process connect <remote-url>
    
    Currently when you specify a file with the file command it helps us to find
    a process plug-in that is suitable for debugging. If you specify a file you
    can rely upon this to find the correct debugger plug-in:
    
    % lldb a.out
    Current executable set to 'a.out' (x86_64).
    (lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
    ...
    
    If you don't specify a file, you will need to specify the plug-in name that
    you wish to use:
    
    % lldb
    (lldb) process connect --plugin process.gdb-remote connect://localhost:2345
    
    Other connection URL examples:
    
    (lldb) process connect connect://localhost:2345
    (lldb) process connect tcp://127.0.0.1
    (lldb) process connect file:///dev/ttyS1
    
    We are currently treating the "connect://host:port" as a way to do raw socket
    connections. If there is a URL for this already, please let me know and we
    will adopt it.
    
    So now you can connect to a remote debug server with the ProcessGDBRemote
    plug-in. After connection, it will ask for the pid info using the "qC" packet
    and if it responds with a valid process ID, it will be equivalent to attaching.
    If it response with an error or invalid process ID, the LLDB process will be
    in a new state: eStateConnected. This allows us to then download a program or
    specify the program to run (using the 'A' packet), or specify a process to
    attach to (using the "vAttach" packets), or query info about the processes
    that might be available.
