Description

I have the following situation:

* I start Karma with `node --require coffeescript/register' since my Karma config is in CoffeeScript
* Karma loads ts-node to support TypeScript modules
* I have a custom Karma preprocessor for compiling CoffeeScript, since karma-coffee-preprocessor doesn't support CoffeeScript 2.
* I configure CoffeeScript to transpile the resulting JS code with Babel
* I use Babel's preset-env
* Babel loads a plugin, plugin-proposal-async-generator-functions, which uses @babel/template which creates a stack trace by throwing and catching an Error (inside a function called `extendedTrace`).
* When this happens, source-map-support's `prepareStackTrace` method is called, since source-map-support is used by ts-node.
* source-map-support encounters coffeescript.js in the call stack (since the Error is thrown inside Babel which is invoked from CoffeeScript).
* coffeescript.js contains code for emitting source maps, so it contains code that matches the regular expression used by `retrieveSourceMapURL`.
* `retrieveSourceMapURL` extracts the following source map from coffeescript.js: "zw(u�"
* This string is passed to source-map which tries to parse it as JSON in `parseSourceMapInput`.
* At this point, bad things happen. :-)

I created a git repo that demonstrates the problem: https://github.com/provegard/sourcemap-bug

Clone it, run `npm install` and then `npm test`. It produces the following output:

```
undefined:1
zw(u�
^

If I modify retrieveSourceMapURL to print `lastMatch`, I get:

```
[
'//# sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64,${encoded}`;',
'data:application/json;base64,${encoded}`;',
undefined,

```

Versions:
* Node v12.5.0
* npm 6.9.2
* source-map-support: 0.5.13
