LOG: [lldb] Add stop-on-fork and stop-on-vfork settings (#188710)

Added support for new `target.process.stop-on-fork` and
`target.process.stop-on-vfork` settings. GDB already has ability to set
[catchpoints](https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/Set-Catchpoints.html)
on `fork` and `vfork`, so having this feature in LLDB might be useful
(e.g. use it to get pid of new process and attach to the new process
from different console).

Added: 
    lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/Makefile
    lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/TestStopOnForkAndVFork.py
    lldb/test/API/functionalities/fork/stop/main.c
    lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-fork.test
    lldb/test/Shell/Subprocess/stop-on-vfork.test

Modified: 
    lldb/include/lldb/Target/Process.h
    lldb/source/Target/Process.cpp
    lldb/source/Target/StopInfo.cpp
    lldb/source/Target/TargetProperties.td

Removed:
