We discovered that attempting to print a very large string-like array
would succeed on the CLI, but in DAP would cause the "variables"
request to fail with:
value requires 67038491 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
This turns out to be a limitation in Value.format_string, which
de-lazy-ifies the value.
This patch fixes this problem by introducing a new NoOpStringPrinter
class, and then using it for string-like values. This printer returns
a lazy string, which solves the problem.
Note there are some special cases where we do not want to return a
lazy string. I've documented these in the code. I considered making
gdb.Value.lazy_string handle these cases -- for example it could
return 'self' rather than a lazy string in some situations -- but this
approach was simpler.
