Use only unnamed pipes to launch lldb-server gdbserver.
Summary:
If we used unnamed pipes instead of named pipes, we can avoid having the
file system littered with debugserver-named-pipes if lldb-server happens to
crash for whatever reason. Also, on some buggy systems, it's possible to be
able to create but not to delete a fifo. Ideally, support for unnamed pipes
should be added to debugserver as well, so we can avoid the `#ifdef` here.
