RFR: 8284828: Use `os::ThreadCrashProtection` to protect AsyncGetCallTrace from crashing

Move the AsyncGetCallTrace method implementation into a separate method and wrap its call in non-assert compilation mode in `os::ThreadCrashProtection` like it is done in [JFR](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/965ea8d9cd29aee41ba2b1b0b0c67bb67eca22dd/src/hotspot/share/jfr/periodic/sampling/jfrThreadSampler.cpp#L165).
This prevents AsyncGetCallTrace from crashing on segmentation faults (but not on `guarantee`s).
If a crash is observed, then the `num_frames` field of the trace is set to `ticks_unknown_state` (-7) to signal a state that cannot be properly handled. `ticks_unknown_state` is currently also used for signaling unknown thread states but this should not be a problem, as the semantic is the same. If `num_frames` already has an error code then this error code is not changed. This helps to distinguish between errors in walking threads in Java and non-Java mode, as `num_frames` is set there before the walking to the appropriate error code.
_Thanks for @tstuefe for suggesting this._
