    Prevent gtest tests from popping up dialog boxes
    
    Many UCRT (and msvcrt/msvcxx) functions open dialog boxes
    by default for .... some reason. This is a problem because a test runner
    waiting on a process to exit won't see it exit unless someone actually
    clicks away the box, which won't happen on a CI machine.
    
    Additionally g_abort unconditionally raises a debugging exception,
    which, if uncaught, will cause windows error reporting to pop a dialog
    
    Resolve the first problem by calling platform specific (but documented)
    functions to change the CRT's behavior in g_test_init
    
    Resolve the second by only throwing a debug exception if we're under
    debugging, and just calling abort() otherwise.
    
    This reduces the number of popups triggerd by `meson test` from
    over 10 to about three on my machine, mostly in the spawn test code.
