When input is dumped as specified by `-dump-input=fail`, this patch
filters the dump to show only input lines that are the starting lines
of error diagnostics plus the number of contextual lines specified
`-dump-input-context` (defaults to 5).
When `-dump-input=always`, there might be not be any errors, so all
input lines are printed, as without this patch.
Here's some sample output with `-dump-input-context=3 -vv`:
```

Document the default of `fail` in `-help`. Extend `-dump-input=help`
to help users find related command-line options, but let `-help`

Having the input dumped on failure seems like a better
default: I debugged FileCheck tests for a while without knowing
about this option, which really helps to understand failures.
Remove `-dump-input-on-failure` and the environment variable
FILECHECK_DUMP_INPUT_ON_FAILURE which are now obsolete.

Problem: `FILECHECK_OPTS` was implemented so that a test runner, such
as a bot, can specify FileCheck debugging options, such as
`-dump-input=fail`. However, some existing test suites have FileCheck
calls that already specify `-dump-input=fail` or `-dump-input=always`.
Without this patch, such tests fail under such a test runner because
FileCheck doesn't accept multiple occurrences of `-dump-input`.
Solution: This patch permits multiple occurrences of `-dump-input` by
assigning precedence to its values in the following descending order:
`help`, `always`, `fail`, and `never`. That is, any occurrence of
`help` always obtains help, and otherwise the behavior is similar to
`-v` vs. `-vv` in that the option specifying the greatest verbosity
has precedence.
Rationale: My justification for the new behavior is as follows. I
have not experienced use cases where, either as a test runner or as a
test author, I want to **limit** the permitted debugging verbosity
(except as a test author in FileCheck's or lit's test suites where the
FileCheck debugging output itself is under test, but the solution
there is `env FILECHECK_OPTS=`, and I imagine we should use the same
solution anywhere else this need might occur). Of course, as either a
test runner or test author, it is useful to **increase** debugging
verbosity.

Without this patch, `FILECHECK_OPTS` isn't propagated to FileCheck's
test suite so that `FILECHECK_OPTS` doesn't inadvertently affect test
results by affecting the output of FileCheck calls under test. As a
result, `FILECHECK_OPTS` is useless for debugging FileCheck's test
suite.
In `llvm/test/FileCheck/lit.local.cfg`, this patch provides a new
subsitution, `%ProtectFileCheckOutput`, to address this problem for
both `FILECHECK_OPTS` and the deprecated
`FILECHECK_DUMP_INPUT_ON_FAILURE`. The rest of the patch uses
`%ProtectFileCheckOutput` throughout the test suite
Fixes PR40284.

Summary:
By default, `parseCommandLineOptions()` will accept either a
`-` or `--` prefix for long options -- options with names longer than
a single character.
While this change does not affect behavior, it will be helpful with a
subsequent change that requires long options use the `--` prefix.

On Unix/Mac OS X, normpath() returns the path unchanged (FileCheck), but
on case-insensitive filesystems (like NTFS on Windows), it converts the
path to lowercase (filecheck) which was causing the test to fail.

The old diagnostic form of the trace produced by -v and -vv looks
like:
```
check1:1:8: remark: CHECK: expected string found in input
CHECK: abc
^
<stdin>:1:3: note: found here
; abc def
^~~
```
When dumping annotated input is requested (via -dump-input), I find
that this old trace is not useful and is sometimes harmful:
1. The old trace is mostly redundant because the same basic
information also appears in the input dump's annotations.
2. The old trace buries any error diagnostic between it and the input
dump, but I find it useful to see any error diagnostic up front.
3. FILECHECK_OPTS=-dump-input=fail requests annotated input dumps only
for failed FileCheck calls. However, I have to also add -v or -vv
to get a full set of annotations, and that can produce massive
output from all FileCheck calls in all tests. That's a real
problem when I run this in the IDE I use, which grinds to a halt as
it tries to capture all that output.
When -dump-input=fail|always, this patch suppresses the old trace from
-v or -vv. Error diagnostics still print as usual. If you want the
old trace, perhaps to see variable expansions, you can set
-dump-input=none (the default).

This patch implements input annotations for diagnostics enabled by -v,
which report good matches for directives. These annotations mark
match ranges using `^~~`.
For example:
```
$ FileCheck -dump-input=help
The following description was requested by -dump-input=help to
explain the input annotations printed by -dump-input=always and
-dump-input=fail:
- L: labels line number L of the input file
- T:L labels the only match result for a pattern of type T from line L of
the check file
- T:L'N labels the Nth match result for a pattern of type T from line L of
the check file
- ^~~ marks good match (reported if -v)
- !~~ marks bad match, such as:
- CHECK-NEXT on same line as previous match (error)
- CHECK-NOT found (error)
- X~~ marks search range when no match is found, such as:
- CHECK-NEXT not found (error)
- ? marks fuzzy match when no match is found
- colors success, error, fuzzy match, unmatched input
If you are not seeing color above or in input dumps, try: -color
$ FileCheck -v -dump-input=always check3 < input3 |& sed -n '/^<<<</,$p'
<<<<<<
1: abc foobar def
check:1 ^~~
not:2 !~~~~~ error: no match expected
check:3 ^~~
>>>>>>
$ cat check3
CHECK: abc
CHECK-NOT: foobar
CHECK: def
$ cat input3
abc foobar def
```
-vv enables these annotations for FileCheck's implicit EOF patterns as
well. For an example where EOF patterns become relevant, see patch 7
in this series.
If colors are enabled, `^~~` is green to suggest success.
-v plus color enables highlighting of input text that has no final
match for any expected pattern. The highlight uses a cyan background
to suggest a cold section. This highlighting can make it easier to
spot text that was intended to be matched but that failed to be
matched in a long series of good matches.
CHECK-COUNT-<num> good matches are another case where there can be
multiple match results for the same directive.

Extend FileCheck to dump its input annotated with FileCheck's
diagnostics: errors, good matches if -v, and additional information if
-vv. The goal is to make it easier to visualize FileCheck's matching
behavior when debugging.
Each patch in this series implements input annotations for a
particular category of FileCheck diagnostics. While the first few
patches alone are somewhat useful, the annotations become much more
useful as later patches implement annotations for -v and -vv
diagnostics, which show the matching behavior leading up to the error.
This first patch implements boilerplate plus input annotations for
error diagnostics reporting that no matches were found for a
directive. These annotations mark the search ranges of the failed
directives. Instead of using the usual `^~~`, which is used by later
patches for good matches, these annotations use `X~~` so that this
category of errors is visually distinct.
For example:
```
$ FileCheck -dump-input=help
The following description was requested by -dump-input=help to
explain the input annotations printed by -dump-input=always and
-dump-input=fail:
- L: labels line number L of the input file
- T:L labels the match result for a pattern of type T from line L of
the check file
- X~~ marks search range when no match is found
- colors error
If you are not seeing color above or in input dumps, try: -color
$ FileCheck -v -dump-input=always check1 < input1 |& sed -n '/^Input file/,$p'
Input file: <stdin>
Check file: check1
-dump-input=help describes the format of the following dump.
Full input was:
<<<<<<
1: ; abc def
2: ; ghI jkl
next:3 X~~~~~~~~ error: no match found
>>>>>>
$ cat check1
CHECK: abc
CHECK-SAME: def
CHECK-NEXT: ghi
CHECK-SAME: jkl
$ cat input1
; abc def
; ghI jkl
```
Some additional details related to the boilerplate:
* Enabling: The annotated input dump is enabled by `-dump-input`,
which can also be set via the `FILECHECK_OPTS` environment variable.
Accepted values are `help`, `always`, `fail`, or `never`. As shown
above, `help` describes the format of the dump. `always` is helpful
when you want to investigate a successful FileCheck run, perhaps for
an unexpected pass. `-dump-input-on-failure` and
`FILECHECK_DUMP_INPUT_ON_FAILURE` remain as a deprecated alias for
`-dump-input=fail`.
* Diagnostics: The usual diagnostics are not suppressed in this mode
and are printed first. For brevity in the example above, I've
omitted them using a sed command. Sometimes they're perfectly
sufficient, and then they make debugging quicker than if you were
forced to hunt through a dump of long input looking for the error.
If you think they'll get in the way sometimes, keep in mind that
it's pretty easy to grep for the start of the input dump, which is
`<<<`.
* Colored Annotations: The annotated input is colored if colors are
enabled (enabling colors can be forced using -color). For example,
errors are red. However, as in the above example, colors are not
vital to reading the annotations.
I don't know how to test color in the output, so any hints here would
be appreciated.
