gh-144563: Fix remote debugging with duplicate libpython mappings from ctypes (#144595)
When _ctypes is imported, it may call dlopen on the libpython shared
library, causing the dynamic linker to load a second mapping of the
library into the process address space. The remote debugging code
iterates memory regions from low addresses upward and returns the first
mapping whose filename matches libpython. After _ctypes is imported, it
finds the dlopen'd copy first, but that copy's PyRuntime section was
never initialized, so reading debug offsets from it fails.

Fix this by validating each candidate PyRuntime address before accepting
it. The validation reads the first 8 bytes and checks for the "xdebugpy"
cookie that is only present in an initialized PyRuntime. Uninitialized
duplicate mappings will fail this check and be skipped, allowing the
search to continue to the real, initialized PyRuntime.
