In my case the application doesn't link againt LLVM libraries, it only uses 
`liblldb.dll` (which doesn't export `llvm::InitLLVM` or 
`llvm::sys::PrintStackTraceOnErrorSignal`). 
It would be nice to have backtraces when using LLDB as a library, but I agree 
that only-main-program-install-signal-handlers policy makes a lot of sense.

I will change this patch to install a safeguard from 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D119009#3297591 then.
