Description
I see that LLDB is regularly built and shipped with prebuilt LLVM on GitHub.
Just like `@llvm_toolchain//:clang-format` exists, would it be possible to add `@llvm_toolchain//:lldb` so that LLDB could be used for debugging without the need to install one?
Would then something like `bazel run //:my-target --run_under=@llvm_toolchain//:lldb` even work?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing @llvm_toolchain//:clang-format target is defined and how prebuilt LLVM artifacts are exposed. Check whether the proposed @llvm_toolchain//:lldb target can support the shown Bazel --run_under invocation; done means LLDB is exposed and that usage is verified.
