tasks,debugging: make it possible to get the backtrace of a task (Jul…

…iaLang#32283)

This should work for any non-copy stack task. To make it work better,
this now switches to the JL_HAVE_UNW_CONTEXT by default for some
platforms.

Also export the list of all live (currently running or suspended)
tasks which have real stacks (the non-copy-stack tasks) which were
started by the current thread.
