This module was originally intended to be imported by top-level
scripts to be able to find the LLDB packages and third party
libraries. Packages themselves shouldn't need to import it,
because by the time it gets into the package, the top-level
script should have already done this. Indeed, it was just
adding the same values to sys.path multiple times, so this
patch is essentially no functional change.
To make sure it doesn't get re-introduced, we also delete the
`use_lldb_suite` module from `lldbsuite/test`, although the
original copy still remains in `lldb/test`

For convenience, we had added the folder that dotest.py was in
to sys.path, so that we could easily write things like
`import lldbutil` from anywhere and any test. This introduces
a subtle problem when using Python's package system, because when
unittest2 imports a particular test suite, the test suite is detached
from the package. Thus, writing "import lldbutil" from dotest imports
it as part of the package, and writing the same line from a test
does a fresh import since the importing module was not part of
the same package.
The real way to fix this is to use absolute imports everywhere. Instead
of writing "import lldbutil", we need to write "import
lldbsuite.test.util". This patch fixes up that and all other similar
cases, and additionally removes the script directory from sys.path
to ensure that this can't happen again.

Summary:
I observed that eclipse was passing --thread-group for many other commands
then we are currently handling. Looking at the MI documentation, the
following link states that each MI command accept the --thread and
--frame option. Looking at the GDB implementation, it seems that apart
from these 2, --thread-group is also handled the same way.

So instead of handling those arguments in every comamnds, I have moved
them into the base class and removed them from elsewhere. Now any command
can use these arguments. The patch seems big but most of the changes are
mechanical.

This is the conclusion of an effort to get LLDB's Python code
structured into a bona-fide Python package. This has a number
of benefits, but most notably the ability to more easily share
Python code between different but related pieces of LLDB's Python
infrastructure (for example, `scripts` can now share code with
`test`).
