Remote: Detect CDB and enable debugging on a Windows device

Auto-detection now locates cdb.exe in the Windows Kits Debuggers
directories and registers a CDB debugger for it, carrying the
device's Windows ABI so the debugger kit aspect attaches it to the
detected MSVC kits (kit creation selects a debugger on the same
device by ABI match). A new "CDB extension directory" device setting
names the device Qt Creator "lib" directory, from which the debugger
takes the matching qtcreatorcdbext.dll. WindowsDebugWorkerFactory
provides the debug recipe (StartInternal) for the device.

The Windows device detection test asserts the created kit gets the
device's CDB.

Core: Fix cut/copy/paste/selectall in file dialogs on macOS

The Qt documentation states that we have to add these actions to the
menu, which we do, and that they are used for the file dialogs if they
match with TextHeuristicRole, which we avoid and automatically override
because it breaks with translations.

Override the override for these actions.

Debugger: Do not hang when the terminal fails to start

When debugging with "Run in Terminal", the launch barrier was advanced
only on the terminal process's started() signal. A terminal that never
starts (e.g. a broken terminal emulator that fails to provide a pty)
emits done() without started(), so the barrier was never satisfied and
the launch hung at "Launching Debugger" with a disabled stop button.

Also react to done(): if it arrives before started(), report the error
and fail the barrier so the launch aborts cleanly.

Debugger: Make additional startup commands work for LLDB

The additional startup commands were written to the LLDB process in one
block via executeCommand(), which does not reliably register commands
such as "command regex". Send them line by line through the command
interpreter instead, like the post-attach commands already are.

ProjectExplorer: Do not sort detected device kits under "Managed"

Amends 99a8eaf19f2a342ccbc3b2444c7794cb5fc5a7ca

The created kit is not "managed": It is never updated, and never
automatically removed. It was now also the only detected item that was
sorted under "Automatically Managed" (compared to Qt versions,
toolchains, debuggers, etc) which is confusing.

After it was created, the kit falls under the user's responsibility, so
put it under "Manual". We still avoid re-creating new ones by using the
detection source ID as intended by the original change.

RemoteLinux: Don't stat every target dir before an sftp transfer

Before building the sftp batch, SftpTransferImpl probed each target
parent directory with a remote FilePath::exists() call and only then
emitted an "-mkdir" for the missing ones. Those probes are synchronous
remote round-trips, one per directory, issued on the GUI thread. On a
full Qt deployment (hundreds of directories) this froze the UI for a
long time before the transfer even started.

The probing is also pointless: "-mkdir" already ignores an existing
directory thanks to the "-" prefix (like the "-rm" below it), and the
batch's stderr is only surfaced when it fails. So just emit "-mkdir"
for every directory unconditionally.

Qnx: Make Qt-libraries deployment failures easier to understand

On failure the dialog dumped the raw sftp stderr, which on a first
deployment is dominated by harmless "delete ... No such file" lines
from removing not-yet-present symlink targets, burying the real error
(typically a "write ...: Failure" when the device runs out of disk
space). Drop those harmless lines and append a hint about the usual
cause (free space / writable remote directory).

The analogous "mkdir ...: Failure" noise for already-existing remote
directories is dropped too. Genuine mkdir failures such as a read-only
remote root report "Permission denied" and are kept, since they are
real errors worth showing.

ProjectExplorer: Apply run configuration extra data before the modifier

processTask applied the run configuration's extra data to the process
after the start modifier had run, then merged back the entries the
modifier had set. Set the run configuration's extra data before the
modifier instead, the same way the command and environment already are,
and add the terminal shell name directly afterwards. The modifier's
changes are then kept without an explicit merge.

CDB: Remote debugging improvements

When cdb runs on a remote Windows device it is launched in
ProcessMode::Writer, and the device process interface deliberately
does not inject an environment for such a process (a shell wrapper
would corrupt the streamed command protocol). The extension was
loaded with "-a<name>", which resolves the DLL only through
_NT_DEBUGGER_EXTENSION_PATH - a variable that therefore never
reaches the device cdb, so the extension never loaded and the
engine never received the idle notification it waits for.

Load the extension by its absolute device path instead. ".load"
needs the full path and consumes the rest of the line, so it
cannot share the single "-c" string with ".idle_cmd"; stage a
startup script and pass it via "-cf", which takes one command per
line. The script is removed again once the process is done.

Along the way:
- Pass the inferior as a native path, not toUserOutput(), which
  for a remote inferior yields the urlish "ssh://host/C:/..." form
  that cdb on the device cannot open.
- Only pass "-y" when there is a symbol path: an empty argument
  becomes a literal '""' that cdb rejects, leaving it without any
  symbol path at all.
