Inspired by a question on Discord about how to discover the values for the follow fork mode. `settings list` doesn't show them:
```
(lldb) settings list target.process.follow-fork-mode
target.process.follow-fork-mode -- Debugger's behavior upon fork or vfork.
```
Which I understand to be the equivalent of `help` but for settings.
```
(lldb) help settings list
List and describe matching debugger settings. Defaults to all listing all settings.
Syntax: settings list [<setting-variable-name | setting-prefix>]
```
(though I first looked for a `help` sub-command)
The only way to see them is to give it a bogus value:
```
(lldb) settings set target.process.follow-fork-mode food
error: invalid enumeration value 'food', valid values are: child, parent
```
Which is not very intuitive.
I think we could add them to the description, which might also make them show up in `apropos` which would be cool.
