Missing docs: How to debug HPX applications

[sithhell]

We need to better document how to debug HPX applications:

• [x] Document the usage of #2479
• [ ] Document how to use --hpx:attach-debugger
• [x] Document the usage of sanitizers

• For --hpx:attach-debugger, I suppose you'd want something more than the help text that is printed at startup/exception by hpx?
• For the usage of sanitizers, would it be enough to add a short text advising to add -fno-omit-stack-pointer and setting HPX_WITH_STACKOVERFLOW_DETECTION=OFF?

Yes, like how to spot the thread that the exception.

Yes, and HPX_WITH_SANITIZERS=On

Btw, I started this over here. I'll try to add a section on --hpx:attach-debugger soonish.
