Adds the following: * A note that you can use attaching to debug the right lldb-server process, though there are drawbacks. * A section on debugging the remote protocol. * Reducing bugs, including reducing ptrace bugs to remove the need for LLDB. I've added a standlone ptrace program to the examples folder because: * There's no better place to put it. * Adding it to the page seems like wasting space, and would be harder to update. * I link to Eli Bendersky's classic blog on the subject, but we are safer with our own example as well. * Eli's example is for 32 bit Intel, AArch64 is more common these days. * It's easier to show the software breakpoint steps in code than explain it (though I still do that in the text). * It was living on my laptop not helping anyone so I think it's good to have it upstream for others, including future me.
