Debuginfo tests don't control for ambient tools #126092

Description

@workingjubilee

The debuginfo tests should probably use a specific debugger, like maybe an lldb we build with the compiler, so that they work consistently. In practice, they have been effectively broken on user's machines by just trying to use whatever is installed.

In other words: just because I use Linux doesn't mean I have gdb installed.
