[lldb] Add 'FindInMemory()' overload for PostMortemProcess.

Summary:
The current implementation of 'Process::FindInMemory()' utilizes a slow ReadMemory() API to search for 1 byte at a time in memory. This new overload takes advantage of the fact that the process core is already loaded into memory, allowing for a direct and more efficient search.

Test Plan:
llvm-lit ./llvm-project/lldb/test/API/python_api/find_in_memory/TestFindInMemoryCore.py ./llvm-project/lldb/test/API/python_api/find_in_memory/TestFindRangesInMemory.py ./llvm-project/lldb/test/API/python_api/find_in_memory/TestFindInMemory.py
