drgn was originally my side project, but for awhile now it's also been my work project. Update the copyright headers to reflect this, and add a copyright header to various files that were missing it.
It's annoying to have to do value= when creating objects, especially in interactive mode. Let's allow passing in the value positionally so that `Object(prog, "int", value=0)` becomes `Object(prog, "int", 0)`. It's clear enough that this is creating an int with value 0.
The model has always been that drgn Objects are immutable, but for some reason I went through the trouble of allowing __init__() to reinitialize an already initialized Object. Instead, let's fully initialize the Object in __new__() and get rid of __init__().
Despite the naming, this is the kernel stack size.
We currently unwind from pt_regs and NT_PRSTATUS using an array of register definitions. It's more flexible and more efficient to do this with an architecture-specific callback. For x86-64, this change also makes us depend on the binary layout rather than member names of struct pt_regs, but that shouldn't matter unless people are defining their own, weird struct pt_regs.
drgn has a couple of issues unwinding stack traces for kernel core dumps: 1. It can't unwind the stack for the idle task (PID 0), which commonly appears in core dumps. 2. It uses the PID in PRSTATUS, which is racy and can't actually be trusted. The solution for both of these is to look up the PRSTATUS note by CPU instead of PID. For the live kernel, drgn refuses to unwind the stack of tasks in the "R" state. However, the "R" state is running *or runnable*, so in the latter case, we can still unwind the stack. The solution for this is to look at on_cpu for the task instead of the state.
After thinking about it some more, I realized that "libdwfl: simplify activation frame logic" breaks the case where during unwinding someone queries isactivation for reasons other than knowing whether to decrement program counter. Revert the patch and refactor "libdwfl: add interface for getting Dwfl_Module and Dwarf_Frame for Dwfl_Frame" to handle it differently. Based on: c95081596 size: Also obey radix printing for bsd format. With the following patches: configure: Add --disable-programs configure: Add --disable-shared libdwfl: add interface for attaching to/detaching from threads libdwfl: export __libdwfl_frame_reg_get as dwfl_frame_register libdwfl: add interface for getting Dwfl_Module and Dwarf_Frame for Dwfl_Frame libdwfl: add interface for evaluating DWARF expressions in a frame

The CI has intermittently been hitting the following test failures on
Python 3.8 with Clang:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_task_cpu (tests.linux_kernel.helpers.test_sched.TestSched)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/runner/work/drgn/drgn/tests/linux_kernel/helpers/test_sched.py", line 40, in test_task_cpu
with fork_and_stop(os.sched_setaffinity, 0, (cpu,)) as (pid, _):
File "/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.8.18/x64/lib/python3.8/contextlib.py", line 113, in __enter__

File "/home/runner/work/drgn/drgn/tests/linux_kernel/__init__.py", line 203, in fork_and_stop
ret = pickle.load(pipe_r)
EOFError: Ran out of input
The EOFError occurs because the forked process segfaults immediately:
python[132]: segfault at 7f8f87085014 ip 00007f8f891e9774 sp 00007ffccf7acf00 error 4 in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2[16774,7f8f891d5000+2a000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)
The segfault is on dereferencing cache_new in in _dl_load_cache_lookup()
in ld-linux here:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=elf/dl-cache.c;h=88bf78ad7c914b02109d6ddef7e08c0e8fd4574d;hb=f94f6d8a3572840d3ba42ab9ace3ea522c99c0c2#l489

This doesn't happen in Python 3.9, which I bisected to CPython commit
45a78f906d2d ("bpo-44434: Don't call PyThread_exit_thread() explicitly
(GH-26758)") (in v3.11, backported to v3.9.6).
That commit describes a different symptom where the process aborts
because libgcc_s can't be loaded. I don't understand how that issue can
cause our crash, but the fix appears to be the same. The discussion also
suggests a workaround: linking to libgcc_s explicitly.
Apply the workaround, which appears to fix our problem. We only do this
for the CI and not for the general build for a few reasons:
1. I'm nervous about explicitly linking to this low-level library
unconditionally, and the logic to decide when it's necessary (only
for Python 3.8 and glibc) isn't worth the trouble.
2. The situation required to hit it (drgn + Python threading + fork) is
unlikely outside of our test suite.
3. Python 3.8 is EOL.
4. Builds with libkdumpfile already pull in libgcc_s via libkdumpfile ->
libsnappy -> libstdc++ -> libgcc_s.
