Boots 14319a31f8 GDB/LLDB debugger pretty printers w/QString support and vscode launch config (#18960)
* GDB/LLDB debugger pretty printers w/QString support and vscode launch  config

* Python code now adheres to pep8.  Slight refactor to lldb printer for readability.

* Resolved a few missed trailing whitespace errors from pylint

* Added missing trailing newline I missed in my last commit

* Apply suggestions from code review

QT Pretty Printer for LLDB
Currently supports displaying the following QT types in the debugger
* QString
Can be used from LLDB via:
(lldb) command script import {Your FreeCAD source dir}/contrib/debugger/qt_pretty_printers_lldb.py
(lldb) frame variable test
(QString) test = "This is a test string."
(lldb)
Can be used in VSCode via launch.json (tested with CodeLLDB extension)

Note: There may be variances between different operating systems and/or build configurations
in how QString data is stored internally. This was tested on debian12/amd64 and
macOS/arm64. @BootsSiR
