Expanded the flags that can be set for a command object in lldb_private::CommandObject. This list of available flags are:

enum
{
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagRequiresTarget
    //
    // Ensures a valid target is contained in m_exe_ctx prior to executing
    // the command. If a target doesn't exist or is invalid, the command
    // will fail and CommandObject::GetInvalidTargetDescription() will be
    // returned as the error. CommandObject subclasses can override the
    // virtual function for GetInvalidTargetDescription() to provide custom
    // strings when needed.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagRequiresTarget         = (1u << 0),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagRequiresProcess
    //
    // Ensures a valid process is contained in m_exe_ctx prior to executing
    // the command. If a process doesn't exist or is invalid, the command
    // will fail and CommandObject::GetInvalidProcessDescription() will be
    // returned as the error. CommandObject subclasses can override the
    // virtual function for GetInvalidProcessDescription() to provide custom
    // strings when needed.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagRequiresProcess        = (1u << 1),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagRequiresThread
    //
    // Ensures a valid thread is contained in m_exe_ctx prior to executing
    // the command. If a thread doesn't exist or is invalid, the command
    // will fail and CommandObject::GetInvalidThreadDescription() will be
    // returned as the error. CommandObject subclasses can override the
    // virtual function for GetInvalidThreadDescription() to provide custom
    // strings when needed.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagRequiresThread         = (1u << 2),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagRequiresFrame
    //
    // Ensures a valid frame is contained in m_exe_ctx prior to executing
    // the command. If a frame doesn't exist or is invalid, the command
    // will fail and CommandObject::GetInvalidFrameDescription() will be
    // returned as the error. CommandObject subclasses can override the
    // virtual function for GetInvalidFrameDescription() to provide custom
    // strings when needed.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagRequiresFrame          = (1u << 3),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagRequiresRegContext
    //
    // Ensures a valid register context (from the selected frame if there
    // is a frame in m_exe_ctx, or from the selected thread from m_exe_ctx)
    // is availble from m_exe_ctx prior to executing the command. If a
    // target doesn't exist or is invalid, the command will fail and
    // CommandObject::GetInvalidRegContextDescription() will be returned as
    // the error. CommandObject subclasses can override the virtual function
    // for GetInvalidRegContextDescription() to provide custom strings when
    // needed.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagRequiresRegContext     = (1u << 4),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagTryTargetAPILock
    //
    // Attempts to acquire the target lock if a target is selected in the
    // command interpreter. If the command object fails to acquire the API
    // lock, the command will fail with an appropriate error message.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagTryTargetAPILock       = (1u << 5),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagProcessMustBeLaunched
    //
    // Verifies that there is a launched process in m_exe_ctx, if there
    // isn't, the command will fail with an appropriate error message.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagProcessMustBeLaunched  = (1u << 6),
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    // eFlagProcessMustBePaused
    //
    // Verifies that there is a paused process in m_exe_ctx, if there
    // isn't, the command will fail with an appropriate error message.
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------
    eFlagProcessMustBePaused    = (1u << 7)
};

Now each command object contains a "ExecutionContext m_exe_ctx;" member variable that gets initialized prior to running the command. The validity of the target objects in m_exe_ctx are checked to ensure that any target/process/thread/frame/reg context that are required are valid prior to executing the command. Each command object also contains a Mutex::Locker m_api_locker which gets used if eFlagTryTargetAPILock is set. This centralizes a lot of checking code that was previously and inconsistently implemented across many commands.
