Augusto Noronha e2c8b761cd [NFC][RemoteInspection] Add an opaque AddressSpace field to RemoteAddress ...

Add an extra opaque field to AddressSpace, which can be used by clients
of RemoteInspection to distinguish between different address spaces.

LLDB employs an optimization where it reads memory from files instead of
the running process whenever it can to speed up memory reads (these can
be slow when debugging something over a network). To do this, it needs
to keep track whether an address originated from a process or a file. It
currently distinguishes addresses by setting an unused high bit on the
address, but because of pointer authentication this is not a reliable
solution. In order to keep this optimization working, this patch adds an
extra opaque AddressSpace field to RemoteAddress, which LLDB can use on
its own implementation of MemoryReader to distinguish between addresses.

This patch is NFC for the other RemoteInspection clients, as it adds
extra information to RemoteAddress, which is entirely optional and if
unused should not change the behavior of the library.

Although this patch is quite big the changes are largely mechanical,
replacing threading StoredPointer with RemoteAddress.
