Support configuring whether to capture backtraces at runtime

Tracking issue: rust-lang#93346

This adds a new API to the `std::panic` module which configures whether and how the default panic hook will emit a backtrace when a panic occurs.

After discussion with `@yaahc` on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/backtrace.20lib.20vs.2E.20panic), this PR chooses to avoid adjusting or seeking to provide a similar API for the (currently unstable) std::backtrace API. It seems likely that the users of that API may wish to expose more specific settings rather than just a global one (e.g., emulating the `env_logger`, `tracing` per-module configuration) to avoid the cost of capture in hot code. The API added here could plausibly be copied and/or re-exported directly from std::backtrace relatively easily, but I don't think that's the right call as of now.

```rust
mod panic {
    #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
    #[non_exhaustive]
    pub enum BacktraceStyle {
        Short,
        Full,
        Off,
    }
    fn set_backtrace_style(BacktraceStyle);
    fn get_backtrace_style() -> Option<BacktraceStyle>;
}
```

Several unresolved questions:

* Do we need to move to a thread-local or otherwise more customizable strategy for whether to capture backtraces? See [this comment](rust-lang#79085 (comment)) for some potential use cases for this.
   * Proposed answer: no, leave this for third-party hooks.
* Bikeshed on naming of all the options, as usual.
* Should BacktraceStyle be moved into `std::backtrace`?
   * It's already somewhat annoying to import and/or re-type the `std::panic::` prefix necessary to use these APIs, probably adding a second module to the mix isn't worth it.

Note that PR rust-lang#79085 proposed a much simpler API, but particularly in light of the desire to fully replace setting environment variables via `env::set_var` to control the backtrace API, a more complete API seems preferable. This PR likely subsumes that one.
