Austin Orion 78c73477c7 Add DesktopCaptureOption enumerate_current_process_windows to avoid hang
Enumerating windows owned by the current process on Windows has some
complications due to the GetWindowText*() APIs potentially causing a
deadlock. The APIs will send messages to the window's message loop, and
if the message loop is waiting on this operation we will enter a
deadlock.

I previously put in a mitigation for this [1] which brought the
incidence rate down by an order of magnitude, but we are still seeing
this issue fairly frequently.

So, I've added  DesktopCaptureOption enumerate_current_process_windows
which allows consumers to avoid this issue completely by ignoring
these potentially problematic windows.

By default the flag is set to true which equates with the current
behavior, consumers can set the flag to false to get the new behavior.

I've also updated all the capturers that enumerate windows on Windows
to respect the option.
