#16245: [Registrar] Add an Interface for Haiku to Detect and Handle Unresponsive
Apps

While any programmer’s dream is to have an application that will run
flawlessly, sadly we must come to terms that a program may become stuck in
an infinite loop, blocked, etc. In this case, Haiku should provide a
mechanism that checks that an app’s main thread and window thread aren’t
blocked and are continuing to receive and handle messages.
If an app is blocked, Haiku should give the user the option to A) wait on
the application, B) kill it, or C) (optionally) save a core file that
could be used for debugging purposes. I feel that the registrar is the
server that is most appropriate to handle this task.
