Wesley Wiser 286cdc81a8 [backtraces]: look for the begin symbol only after seeing end
On `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, we often get backtraces which look like
this:

```
10:     0x7ff77e0e9be5 - std::panicking::rust_panic_with_hook
11:     0x7ff77e0e11b4 - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_begin_short_backtrace::h5769736bdb11136c
12:     0x7ff77e0e116f - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_end_short_backtrace::h61c7ecb1b55338ae
13:     0x7ff77e0f89dd - std::panicking::begin_panic::h8e60ef9f82a41805
14:     0x7ff77e0e108c - d
15:     0x7ff77e0e1069 - c
16:     0x7ff77e0e1059 - b
17:     0x7ff77e0e1049 - a
18:     0x7ff77e0e1039 - core::ptr::drop_in_place<std::rt::lang_start<()>::{{closure}}>::h1bfcd14d5e15ba81
19:     0x7ff77e0e1186 - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_begin_short_backtrace::h5769736bdb11136c
20:     0x7ff77e0e100c - std::rt::lang_start::{{closure}}::ha054184bbf9921e3
```

Notice that `__rust_begin_short_backtrace` appears on frame 11 before
`__rust_end_short_backtrace` on frame 12. This is because in typical
release binaries without debug symbols, dbghelp.dll, which we use to walk
and symbolize the stack, does not know where CGU internal functions
start or end and so the closure invoked by `__rust_end_short_backtrace`
is incorrectly described as `__rust_begin_short_backtrace` because it
happens to be near that symbol.

While that can obviously change, this has been happening quite
consistently since #75048. Since this is a very small change to the std
and the change makes sense by itself, I think this is worth doing.

This doesn't completely resolve the situation for release binaries on
Windows, since without debug symbols, the stack printed can still show
incorrect symbol names (this is why the test uses `#[no_mangle]`) but it
does slightly improve the situation in that you see the same backtrace
you would see with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` or in a debugger (without the
uninteresting bits at the top and bottom).
