[lldb] Expose structured command diagnostics via the SBAPI.

This allows IDEs to render LLDB expression diagnostics to their liking
without relying on characterprecise ASCII art from LLDB. It is exposed
as a versioned SBStructuredData object, since it is expected that this
may need to be tweaked based on actual usage.
