Prepare to support more debuggers than windbg.
This way we don't have to deal with shell escaping the dbgscript commands.
Allow to choose the debugger to start when using `windbg.attach`. By default it autodetects which debugger is available. You can specify the path to the debuggers using `context.windbg_binary` and `context.windbgx_binary`.

On Windows there isn't one single debugger everyone uses but multiple ones with different purposes. Allow to choose the debugger to start when using
windbg.attachby settingcontext.debugger. By default it autodetects which debugger is available tryingwindbgxthenwindbg. This could potentially be used to support lldb transparently too.You can specify the path to the debuggers using
context.windbg_binaryandcontext.windbgx_binarytoo similarly to thecontext.gdb_binaryproperty.
