FWIW, I think keeping it consistent with all the other plugin setting names seems like the right thing to do

Okay maybe I misunderstood where this string shows up. ToT lldb calls the setting:
'plugin.cplusplus' variables:
'plugin.cplusplus.display' variables:
function-name-format -- C++ specific frame format string to use when displaying stack frame
information for threads.
I really only care about the user-visible name, and I thought this was the category name, but apparently it isn't.
I'm okay with this patch if it results in a
plugin.swift.display.function-name-format variable.

This PR adds the infrastructure needed to implement function name syntax highlighting in LLDB Swift backtraces.
Motivation
In this patch, @Michael137 implemented name highlighting for methods in the C++ plugin of LLDB. This results in better readability when reading backtraces of functions with long scopes.
Implementation details
This patch only adds the infrastructure/boilerplate needed to implement the feature. The rest of the modifications will be added in #10710.
