Description
We have run into multiple issues with the wrong dbghelp being loaded on windows. We'd like to propose moving it into the core and initializing it there based on the one we ship (when it exists) so that we can avoid these issues in the future. (issue being if the OS-provided one loads first, the debugger will be broken).
