LibCore: Implement a helper that waits for a debugger then breaks

Browse source 
This method can be used to force the current process to sleep, waiting
for a debugger to attach. On attach, the debugger breaks at the callsite
 directly.

This is tested on Linux and macOS, in Clion and also terminal gdb and
lldb.
