Minidump files contain explicit information about load addresses of modules, so 
it can load them itself. This works on other platforms, but fails on darwin 
because DynamicLoaderDarwin nukes the loaded module list on initialization 
(which happens after the core file plugin has done its work).

This used to work until #109477, which enabled the dynamic loader plugins for 
minidump files in order to get them to provide access to TLS.

Clearing the load list makes sense, but I think we could do it earlier in the 
process, so that both Process and DynamicLoader plugins get a chance to load 
modules. This patch does that by calling the function early in the 
launch/attach/load core flows.

This fixes TestDynamicValue.py:test_from_core_file on darwin.

Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Call Target::ClearAllLoadedSections earlier

Minidump files contain explicit information about load addresses of
modules, so it can load them itself. This works on other platforms, but
fails on darwin because DynamicLoaderDarwin nukes the loaded module list
on initialization (which happens after the core file plugin has done its
work).

This used to work until #109477, which enabled the dynamic loader
plugins for minidump files in order to get them to provide access to
TLS.

Clearing the load list makes sense, but I think we could do it earlier
in the process, so that both Process and DynamicLoader plugins get a
chance to load modules. This patch does that by calling the function
early in the launch/attach/load core flows.

This fixes TestDynamicValue.py:test_from_core_file on darwin.
