Create dependent modules in parallel in Target::SetExecutableModule.
This change was inspired by llvm#110646 which takes the same approach when
attaching. Jason suggested we could use the same approach when you
create a target in LLDB.

I used Slack for benchmarking, which loads 902 images.

Benchmark 1: ./bin/lldb /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack
  Time (mean ± σ):      1.225 s ±  0.003 s    [User: 3.977 s, System: 1.521 s]
  Range (min … max):    1.220 s …  1.229 s    10 runs

Benchmark 2: ./bin/lldb /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack
  Time (mean ± σ):      3.253 s ±  0.037 s    [User: 3.013 s, System: 0.248 s]
  Range (min … max):    3.211 s …  3.310 s    10 runs

We see about a 2x speedup, which matches what Jason saw for the attach
scenario. I also ran this under TSan to confirm this doesn't introduce
any races or deadlocks.

In [D148380](https://reviews.llvm.org/D148380), Alex added locking to
PathMappingLists. The current implementation runs the callback under the
lock, which I don't believe is necessary. As far as I can tell, no users
of the callback are relying on the list not having been modified until
the callback is handled.

This patch implements my suggestion to unlock the mutex before the
callback. I also switched to a non-recursive mutex as I don't believe
the recursive property is needed. To make the class fully thread safe, I
did have to introduce another mutex to protect the callback members.

The motivation for this change is llvm#114507. Specifically,
Target::SetExecutableModule calls Target::GetOrCreateModule, which
potentially performs path remapping, which in turns has a callback to
Target::SetExecutableModule.
