[lldb-dap] Partially reverting OutputRedirector changes. (llvm#125136)

I just noticed with these changes lldb-dap was using 200% of my CPU and
root causing the issue it seems that lldb_private::Pipe::Read() (without
a timeout) is using a timeout of `std::chrono::microseconds::zero()`
which ends up setting the SelectHelper timeout to `now + 0` (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/7ceef1b1824073fcfd4724539f5942442da1a9c2/lldb/source/Host/posix/PipePosix.cpp#L314
and
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/7ceef1b1824073fcfd4724539f5942442da1a9c2/lldb/source/Utility/SelectHelper.cpp#L46)
which causes SelectHelper to return immediately with a timeout error. As
a result the `lldb_dap::OutputRedirector::RedirectTo()` to turn into a
busy loop.

Additionally, the 'read' call is waiting until the output buffer is full
before returning, which prevents any partial output (see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/7ceef1b1824073fcfd4724539f5942442da1a9c2/lldb/source/Host/posix/PipePosix.cpp#L325C9-L326C17).

This is not the desired behavior for lldb-dap. Instead we want a write
to the FD to result in a callback to send the DAP Output event, which
mean we want partial output.

To mitigate this, I'm reverting the reading operation to the previous
behavior before 873426b but keeping the
refactored structure and thread management.
