KUDU-2291 (part 4): avoid potential for deadlocks in stack trace collection

This follows some recommendations from [1] to avoid the potential for
deadlocks if we attempt to gather a stack trace from a signal handler
context while the thread is inside calls to libdl.

The approach is somewhat ugly: we have to override the sensitive libdl
calls and use them to increment a thread-local counter indicating that
it would be unsafe to collect a stack. We then check this counter before
capturing a stack: if we see that we are inside libdl we just return an
fake stack trace indicating why it could not be captured.

The new test included deadlocks reliably without the fix.
