Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [lldb] Print register enum types only once

Even if multiple fields reference them. I found this debugging
AArch64 POE which has a register that contains 167 permission
fields. All of which use the same enum type.

Before these changes:
(lldb) register info por
<...>
Perm15: 0 = No Access, 1 = Read, 2 = Execute, 3 = Read, Execute, 4 = Write, 5 = 
Write, Read, 6 = Write, Execute, 7 = Read, Write, Execute
<... 14 copies of the enum one per field...>
Perm0: 0 = No Access, 1 = Read, 2 = Execute, 3 = Read, Execute, 4 = Write, 5 = 
Write, Read, 6 = Write, Execute, 7 = Read, Write, Execute

After:
(lldb) register info por_el0
<...>
Perm15, Perm14, Perm13, Perm12, Perm11, Perm10, Perm9, Perm8, Perm7, Perm6, 
Perm5, Perm4, Perm3, Perm2, Perm1, Perm0: 0 = No Access, 1 = Read, 2 = Execute,
                                                                                
                                      3 = Read, Execute, 4 = Write,
                                                                                
                                      5 = Write, Read, 6 = Write, Execute,
                                                                                
                                     7 = Read, Write, Execute

Which looks weird because we indent the enum according to
the list of fields still, but I will change that later.

Anyway, this won't be a problem for most cases where 2 or 3 fields
share a type. This register is an extreme example.

A unit test has been added and a test for POE using the existing
core file tests.
