For some time now, calls to EnumerateCapturableWindows could lead to a
deadlock if an application's main thread is waiting on the thread that
is running EnumerateCapturableWindows. This is because calls to
GetWindowText and GetWindowTextLength send a message to the window if
the window is owned by the current process. Since the main thread is
waiting on us, it will never reply to this message and we will hang.
This happens occasionally in Chromium when tearing down the
NativeDesktopMediaList object, e.g. when a user clicks "cancel" on
the capture target picker.
We can avoid this deadlock by checking if the window we are querying
is owned by the current process, and if it is then we must ensure it
is responding to messages before we call a GetWindowText* API.
This change also adds a unit test for this scenario. We create a
window and force it to be unresponsive by creating a deadlock, and
then call GetWindowList and (with the new changes) we should not
hang. Without the new changes to GetWindowListHandler, this test
would hang.
