DRTVWR-476, SL-12204: Fix crash in Marketplace Listings.
The observed crash was due to sharing a stateful global resource (the global LLMessageSystem instance) between different tasks. Specifically, a coroutine sets its mMessageReader one way, expecting that value to persist until it's done with message parsing, but another coroutine sneaks in at a suspension point and sets it differently. Introduce LockMessageReader and LockMessageChecker classes, which must be instantiated by a consumer of the resource. The constructor of each locks a coroutine-aware mutex, so that for the lifetime of the lock object no other coroutine can instantiate another. Refactor the code so that LLMessageSystem::mMessageReader can only be modified by LockMessageReader, not by direct assignment. mMessageReader is now an instance of LLMessageReaderPointer, which supports dereferencing and comparison but not assignment. Only LockMessageReader can change its value. LockMessageReader addresses the use case in which the specific mMessageReader value need only persist for the duration of a single method call. Add an instance in LLMessageHandlerBridge::post(). LockMessageChecker is a subclass of LockMessageReader: both lock the same mutex. LockMessageChecker addresses the use case in which the specific mMessageReader value must persist across multiple method calls. Modify the methods in question to require a LockMessageChecker instance. Provide LockMessageChecker forwarding methods to facilitate calling the underlying LLMessageSystem methods via the LockMessageChecker instance. Add LockMessageChecker instances to LLAppViewer::idleNetwork(), a couple cases in idle_startup() and LLMessageSystem::establishBidirectionalTrust().
