Issue:
[dap/launch] race condition causes nil pointer deref when using `--backend=rr`
(It appears the issue template is broken for me right now and not showing up, I'll do my best to edit it back in)

dlv version
```sh
$ dlv version
Delve Debugger
Version: 1.24.1
Build: $Id: 7c2184d58d69f0717b8620fdebc56d34174f9945 $

$ go version
go version go1.24.1 linux/amd64
```
(dlv, go, and rr have been installed from nixpkgs@26b2bef8b3c73a0931af73d902af2d806588f6bb)

When running dlv as dap server (`dlv dap`) and sending a launch config using `rr` as backend
example config: 
```json
{
	"mode": "test",
	"program": "/REDACTED/internal/merge/model",
	"args": [
		"-rapid.checks=5"
	],
	"cwd": "/REDACTED/internal/merge/model",
	"buildFlags": {},

	"traceDirPath": "/REDACTED/internal/merge/model/testdata/rr/",
	"dlvCwd": "/REDACTED/internal/merge/model",
	"env": {
		"GOPATH": "/REDACTED/go"
	},
	"backend": "rr",
	"stackTraceDepth": 50
}
```
delve will panic trying to deref debugger.target inside of https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/4dc820ee3c3364152aff34976927f051d800d6ca/service/dap/server.go#L1163C23-L1163C42

I have tracked the cause to a simple race condition. for backend RR, [setting the target group is delayed ](https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/4dc820ee3c3364152aff34976927f051d800d6ca/service/debugger/debugger.go#L316) to wait for the asynchronous recording to finish. [The  comment above the goroutine](https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/4dc820ee3c3364152aff34976927f051d800d6ca/service/debugger/debugger.go#L301) points this out as intentional and safe due to the mutex, however, [`Target()`](https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/4dc820ee3c3364152aff34976927f051d800d6ca/service/debugger/debugger.go#L2222) and [`TargetGroup()`](https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/4dc820ee3c3364152aff34976927f051d800d6ca/service/debugger/debugger.go#L2226) don't respect the mutex before accessing `d.target`.

I'm unsure whether the public getters are intentionally not blocked by the mutex, however this directly leads to the nil deref, since the recording, especially of more complicated tests (i.e. rapid as in my example above) can take a while, making the recording goroutine lose the race.

I have confirmed that simply adding a Lock and Unlock to the start up of the dap server fixes the issue for me.

```

I'm not certain if this fix is durable enough, since it implicitly assumes that if d.target is not yet initialized, it will be once the first holder of the TargetMutex releases it and that it will never become invalid again (athough this might be a reasonable internal contract). I will create a basic pull request using the diff above and then test whether adding the mutex to the Target() and TargetGroup() methods also works

Hints from issue comments:
@BronzeDeer: On further inspection there actually are quite a few public methods that access d.target but don't lock the mutex first:

Target(), TargetGroup(), CreateWatchpoint(), Command()[1], DwarfRegisterToString(), GetVersion()[2], DumpTarget()[3], GetBufferedTracepoints(), 

[1] Command() handling its "halt" branch without the target mutex, where it is explicitly checking for the state of the recording, this might also be a pattern that is preferable to the current solution for the dap launch.
[2] GetVersion() indirectly against this race on `d.target` by only accessing d.target if not running and not a recording, however I don't know if this will exclude all other races on `d.target` in the future
[3] DumpTarget() is protected, but has a TODO note from @aarzilli about delayed unlocking of the mutex

However, given the generally established pattern inside the public methods, maybe the methods above are simply oversights? I'm happy to change the PR to adding all missing mutex locks if that is preferred
@aarzilli: Note that debugger methods are called only by the loop in `service/rpccommon/server.go` and in `service/dap/server.go` which already take care of not running multiple requests concurrently in most cases. It doesn't make sense to make Debugger thread safe in the traditional sense because, due to kernel API constraints on anything except macOS, there can be only one of it in use at any given time per process.

Further constraints are that Debugger.target itself is only ever changed by Launch and Restart.

CreateWatchpoint is definitely missing a lock,  the rest are unconvincing to me. In particular if you acquire the lock in the halt section of Command you will actually create a deadlock, GetBufferedTracepoints too.@BronzeDeer: > Note that debugger methods are called only by the loop in `service/rpccommon/server.go` and in `service/dap/server.go` which already take care of not running multiple requests concurrently in most cases.

Thank you. This insight was very much what I was looking for, I'm not familiar with delve's internal architecture and my overview of the methods was definitiely a naive one without the necessary context to sort the methods by what deliberate holds no mutex and what was an oversight (Since I have no idea what target even is in details and what the lifecycle of the struct is, I only stumbled in here because my time-travel debugging in VSC kept crashing on launch while running the debugger directly worked.

I'll create a separate PR for the mutex for "CreateWatchpoint()"
