Add signal chaining before final crash termination, then use that handoff to honor system_crash_reporter_enabled on macOS.

This keeps the native backend compatible with previously installed Unix signal handlers while allowing macOS crashes to skip the system crash reporter by default. When system_crash_reporter_enabled is enabled, native forwards to the default signal path so the macOS system crash reporter can handle the crash.

For reference, what Crashpad does:

As a bonus, this also lays the groundwork for runtimes such as Mono/CoreCLR that rely on signal-chaining:

Restore the signal handlers that were installed before Sentry before
terminating after native crash processing. This lets runtimes and other crash
handlers observe the crash after Sentry captures it.

Propagate system_crash_reporter_enabled into the native crash context and use it
on macOS after previous signal handlers have run. When disabled, exit without
re-raising so the system crash reporter is not invoked by default.

Description: Created by `brew bump`

---

Created with `brew bump-formula-pr`.

- [ ] `resource` blocks have been checked for updates.
<details>
  <summary>release notes</summary>
  <pre>**Breaking**:

- `sentry_value_incref` now returns `sentry_value_t` and `sentry_value_decref` returns `int` (0 if freed). ([#1763](getsentry/sentry-native#1763))

**Features**:

- Native: add opt-in async crash upload mode so crashed apps can exit early after crash data is captured, while the crash daemon finishes potentially large uploads in the background. ([#1739](getsentry/sentry-native#1739))
- Native/Linux: symbolicate stack frames in the crash daemon. ([#1747](getsentry/sentry-native#1747), [#1764](getsentry/sentry-native#1764))
- Add a `transfer_timeout` option for SDK-managed HTTP transports. ([#1741](getsentry/sentry-native#1741))
- Apple: use `os_sync_wait_on_address` for the level-triggered waitable flag in the batcher on modern macOS(14.4+) and iOS(17.4+). ([#1765](getsentry/sentry-native#1765))
- Native/macOS: add thread names. ([#1766](getsentry/sentry-native#1766))
- Add Upload-Metadata header to TUS requests. ([#1795](getsentry/sentry-native#1795))

**Fixes**:

- Native/macOS: crash reports now include full stack traces for all threads. Previously, non-crashing threads showed only a single frame. ([#1768](getsentry/sentry-native#1768))
- Native/Linux: resolve function names for the crashed thread's stacktrace from on-disk ELF symbol tables in the crash daemon, so the most important thread gets symbolicated without ptrace. ([#1764](getsentry/sentry-native#1764))
- Finish active trace on crash. ([#1667](getsentry/sentry-native#1667))
- Native/macOS: fix module `image_size` computation, which could have caused the symbolicator to misattribute every frame to the lowest-addressed image (typically `dyld` or `libsystem`). ([#1740](getsentry/sentry-native#1740))
- Native: raise `SENTRY_CRASH_MAX_MODULES` from `512` to `2048` so processes that load many shared libraries no longer have their minidump module list truncated, which left frames in unrecorded modules without a `debug_id` and unsymbolicatable.
  ([#1738](getsentry/sentry-native#1738))
- Reject overly deep JSON and msgpack payloads during deserialization. ([#1727](getsentry/sentry-native#1727), [#1748](getsentry/sentry-native#1748))
- Read lengths for variadic fingerprints. ([#1730](getsentry/sentry-native#1730))
- Guard against JSON token allocation overflow on 32-bit platforms. ([#1733](getsentry/sentry-native#1733))
- Windows: fix HTTP rate limit response header parsing. ([#1732](getsentry/sentry-native#1732))
- POSIX: prevent condition-variable timeout overflow from busy-spinning flush and shutdown waits. ([#1731](getsentry/sentry-native#1731))
- Native/macOS: fix thread stack descriptor. ([#1726](getsentry/sentry-native#1726))
- Native/macOS: honor the `system_crash_reporter_enabled` option. ([#1743](getsentry/sentry-native#1743))
- Cap rate-limit retry-after values at 24 hours to prevent a MITM-provided response from disabling event delivery for the process lifetime. ([#1744](getsentry/sentry-native#1744))
- Fix a shutdown-time use-after-free window in `sentry_close()`. ([#1750](getsentry/sentry-native#1750))
- curl: free duplicate HTTP response headers to avoid potential leaks. ([#1791](getsentry/sentry-native#1791))
- Native: validate ELF header entry sizes. ([#1746](getsentry/sentry-native#1746))
- Native: clamp `module_count` from the shared crash context. ([#1770](getsentry/sentry-native#1770))
- Prevent database cleanup from following symlinks in run and cache directories. ([#1751](getsentry/sentry-native#1751))
- Structured logs: respect printf argument widths when extracting log parameters to avoid stack-data disclosure and corrupted attributes on 32-bit platforms. ([#1752](getsentry/sentry-native#1752))
- Fix TOCTOU races in transaction/span refcounting by switching to the atomic decref return value. ([#1763](getsentry/sentry-native#1763))
- Fix signed-to-unsigned cast in rate-limit parsing to prevent permanent event suppression. ([#1790](getsentry/sentry-native#1790))
- Fix a potential out-of-bounds read when parsing non-NUL-terminated `sentry-trace` headers. ([#1749](getsentry/sentry-native#1749))
- Harden ELF note parsing against overflow and OOB reads. ([#1773](getsentry/sentry-native#1773))
- Fix memory leak in session deserialization on malformed cached files. ([#1789](getsentry/sentry-native#1789))
- Fix division by zero when breadcrumbs are disabled. ([#1767](getsentry/sentry-native#1767))
- Native: escape JSON attachments. ([#1771](getsentry/sentry-native#1771))
- Reject NaN sample rates. ([#1788](getsentry/sentry-native#1788))
- Handle memory allocation failures during JSON serialization to prevent truncated output. ([#1772](getsentry/sentry-native#1772))
- Guard against overflow in string cloning in internal string utilities. ([#1787](getsentry/sentry-native#1787))
- Fix a file descriptor leak in old-run processing. ([#1792](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/pull/1792))</pre>
