Request for review (S): 7022037: Pause when exiting if a debugger is attached on windows

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Staffan,

1. Is it possible to put this functionality under command line flag?

We have PauseAtStartup and I think it's better to have similar 
PauseAtShutdown than autodetect debugger.


2. It's better to create separate function for it.
