This change breaks up the monolithic TestConcurrentEvents.py into a
separate subdir per test method. This allows them to run concurrently,
reduces the chance of a timeout occurring during normal operation, and
allows us to home in on any test methods that may be locking up.
This is step one in the process of squashing timeouts in these test
methods.
The reason for breaking each test method into its own file is to make it
very clear to us if there are a subset of the tests that do in fact lock
up frequently. This will limit how much hunting we need to do to
recreate it.
The reason for putting each file in a separate subdirectory is so that
our concurrent test runner can run multiple test files at the same time.
The unit of serialization in the LLDB test suite is the test directory,
so moving them into separate directories enables the test runner to do
more at the same time.
This change introduces usage of VPATH from gnu make. I use that to
facilitate keeping a single copy of the main.cpp in the parent
concurrent_events directory. Initially I had tried specifying the source
file as ../main.cpp, but our current makefile rules get confused by that
and then also build the output into the parent directory, which defeats
the ability to run each of the test methods concurrently. In the event
that not all systems support VPATH, I can do a bit of surgery on the
Makefile rules and attempt to make it smarter with regards to relative
paths to source files used in the build.

Summary:
TestExitDuringStep was very rarely hanging on the buildbots. I can't be sure, but I believe this
was because of the fact that it declared its pseudo_barrier variable as "volatile int", which is
not sufficient to guarantee corectness (also, all other tests used atomic variables for this, and
they were passing reliably AFAIK). Besides switching to an atomic variable in this test as well,
I have also took this opportunity to unify all the copies of the pseudo_barrier code to a single
place to reduce the chance of this happening again.

This doesn't attempt to move every decorator. The reason for
this is that it requires touching every single test file to import
decorators.py. I would like to do this in a followup patch, but
in the interest of keeping the patches as bite-sized as possible,
I've only attempted to move the underlying common decorators first.
A few tests call these directly, so those tests are updated as part
of this patch.

TestConcurrentEvents was marked with a XFAIL decorator at class level, which actually does not
work, and causes the class to be silently skipped everywhere. It seems that making it work at
class level is quite a difficult task, so I will just move it to the individual test methods. I
will follow this up with a commit which makes the decorator blow up in case someone tries to
apply it to a class in the future.

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.

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`).
