[lldb] Add an API to derive language-specific runtime information (llvm#116904)

This is motivated by exposing some Swift language-specific flags through
the API, in the example here it is used to communicate the Objective-C
runtime version. This could also be a meaningful extension point to get
information about "embedded: languages, such as extracting the C++
version in an Objective-C++ frame or something along those lines.

(cherry picked from commit e660e65)
