Avoid crash on crash report when a bad function pointer was called (#…
…11298) If Redis crashes due to calling an invalid function pointer, the `backtrace` function will try to dereference this invalid pointer which will cause a crash inside the crash report and will kill the processes without having all the crash report information. Example: ``` === REDIS BUG REPORT START: Cut & paste starting from here === 198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Redis 255.255.255 crashed by signal: 11, si_code: 1 198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Accessing address: 0x1 198672:M 19 Sep 2022 18:06:12.936 # Crashed running the instruction at: 0x1 // here the processes is crashing ``` This PR tries to fix this crash be: 1. Identify the issue when it happened. 2. Replace the invalid pointer with a pointer to some dummy function so that `backtrace` will not crash. I identification is done by comparing `eip` to `info->si_addr`, if they are the same we know that the crash happened on the same address it tries to accesses and we can conclude that it tries to call and invalid function pointer. To replace the invalid pointer we introduce a new function, `setMcontextEip`, which is very similar to `getMcontextEip` and it knows to set the Eip for the different supported OS's. After printing the trace we retrieve the old `Eip` value.
