LOG: [lldb] Fix surprising return values from Log::Enable/DisableChannel 
(#205561)

Fixes #202615, and the fact that the command "log enable" was not being
marked as a failure in some situations where it printed errors.

The root of this is some unexpected behaviour from Log::EnableChannel
and Log::DisableChannel. They only returned false if the channel was
invalid. If any of the categories were invalid, error messages would be
generated, but EnableChannel would return true.

This is what caused lldb-server not to exit or print any error when this
happened. The lldb command "log enable" was printing the error stream
regardless of result, but the command object was never set to failed
(the same applies to DisableChannel).

To fix this I have made them do what you'd expect. Return false if any
part of the log channel or categories was not recognised.

To do that, I had to allow for GetFlags failing. So that has changed
return type.

The existing behaviour of Log::Enable and Log::Disable is also not
obvious at first. I have not changed it in this patch but I have had to
preserve it, so I'll explain it:
* If given an empty optional for flags, use the default flags.
* If given a flags value of 0, use it, which results in disabling all
categories.
* If given a non-zero flags value, use it, enabling whatever categories
had flags set.

There is also an argument for changing all of this into llvm::expected,
but I'll do that in follow ups. This change only addresses the reported
bug.
