There's an unfortunate layering issue between LLDB's Process/POSIX and
Process/{FreeBSD,Linux}, exposed by a refactoring in upstream revision
218568. Work around it by adding explicit #if defined(__FreeBSD__)
guards to include the correct header.
We previously sent SIGKILL to the debuggee in DoDestroy, but did not
actually detach or kill via ptrace. It seems that this somehow didn't
matter on Linux, but did on FreeBSD.
This would happen when quitting LLDB while stopped at a breakpoint, for
example. The debuggee remained stopped in ptrace (with the signal
either pending or lost). After a timeout of a second or two LLDB exits,
which caused the debuggee to resume and dump core from an unhandled
SIGTRAP.
BringProcessIntoLimbo is a poorly named wrapper for ptrace(PT_KILL)
which is the desired behaviour from DoDestroy.

This is in the process of being submitted to the upstream LLDB
repository. The thread list functionality is modelled in part on
GDBRemoteCommunicationClient.
LLDB bug pr16696 and code review D2267
Sponsored by: DARPA, AFRL
ludes minor changes relative to upstream, for compatibility with
FreeBSD's in-tree LLVM 3.3:
- Reverted LLDB r191806, restoring use of previous API.
- Reverted part of LLDB r189317, restoring previous enum names.
- Work around missing LLVM r192504, using previous registerEHFrames API
(limited functionality).
- Removed PlatformWindows header include and init/terminate calls.
