[lldb][Expression] Make __lldb_expr function qualifiers match source context (#177922) We stopped marking `__lldb_expr` with the function qualifiers of the method LLDB is stopped in ever since `8bdcd522510f923185cdfaec66c4a78d0a0d38c0`. The assumption was that it wasn't ever required for correctness (i.e., LLDB should just always pretend it's in a mutable context). But since function qualifiers affect overloading in C++, this assumption can lead to unexpected expression evaluator behaviour. E.g., if a function is overloaded on qualifiers (`const` vs. `non-const`), the expression evaluator would currently always call the non-CV qualified overload. This patch adds function qualifiers to `$__lldb_class::$__lldb_expr` that resemble the qualifiers of the method that we're stopped in. However, mutating variables or calling arbitrary member functions from CV-qualified methods can be useful/is something users already may be used to. To provide users with the ability to ignore the CV-qualifiers of the current context, we will provide an expression evaluator flag that switches this off in a follow-up patch.
