Jordan Rupprecht 6db44e52ce [Linux] Add kernel.yama.ptrace_scope note when ptrace fails to attach.
A common reason for LLDB failing to attach to an already-running process on Linux is the Yama security module: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Yama.txt. This patch adds an explaination and suggested fix when it detects that case happening.

This was previously proposed in D106226, but hasn't been updated in a while. The last request was to put the check in a target-specific location, which is the approach this patch takes. I believe Yama only exists on Linux, so it's put in that package.

This has no end-to-end test because I'm not sure how to set `ptrace_scope` in a test environment -- if there are suggestions on how to do that, I'd be happy to add it. (Also, setting it to `3` is comically irreversible). I tested this locally.
