Description
Howdy,
I managed to add stack walking for Windows using the library https://github.com/JochenKalmbach/StackWalker
Now I was thinking on doing a pull request and add that as API to TinyInst.
Something simple like a string GetCallstack() that one can call directly from the exception handler (e.g. OnCrashed()) and even combine with the translate address we discussed in #56 to have proper addresses.
Would make sense to have it upstreamed?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed StackWalker integration and how TinyInst's exception handler exposes OnCrashed(), then compare it with the address translation discussed in issue #56. Done would require an agreed upstream API and a defined Windows stack-walking integration, which this issue does not yet specify.
