Only register signals and create alt exception stack in coreclr. (#19309)
There was a couple of places where the DAC (IsValidObject, GetAppDomainForObject) assumed that a NULL target/debuggee address would throw an exception that would be caught by try/catch. Any other invalid address is handled with a software exception throwed by the read memory functions. In general it is a better overall design not to have any of the DBI/DAC, etc. code depend on hardware exceptions being caught. On Linux the C++ runtime sometimes can't handle it. There is a slight risk that there are other places in the DAC that make the NULL address assumption but testing so far has found any. Added PAL_SetInitializeDLLFlags as a fallback to allow the PAL_InitializeDLL flags to be set for a PAL instance for the DAC where we could still register h/w signals but not the altstack switching to reduce this risk. The flags can't be build time conditional because we only build one coreclrpal.a library that all the modules used. Having a PAL_InitializeFlags function doesn't really help either because of the PAL_RegisterModule call to PAL_IntializeDLL and the LoadLibrary dance/protocol that uses it to call the loading module's DLLMain. Add PAL_SetInitializeFlags; remove flags from PAL_INITIALIZE and PAL_INITIALIZE_DLL default. Add PAL_InitializeFlags() to allowing the default to be overriden.
