[lldb] Unconditionally increment depth when printing children

[augusto2112]

Summary

The target.max-children-depth setting and --depth flag would be
ignored if treating pointer as arrays, fix that by always incrementing
the current depth when printing a new child.

Add radar

Is ity possible to test this with a nested C++ type?

+1 to a test

thanks for the fix!

seems this is now used with m_omit_summary_depth, maybe name it consumed_summary_depth?

I would probably factor out:

if (does_consume_ptr_depth)
   --curr_ptr_depth;

Setting a breakpoint on the return is risky because there may not be any code associated with it. Something like

int puts(const char *s);

puts("break here");

is safer.
