It's possible that the preview detector is in the middle of processing sources after a source file was changed while the widget previewer is shutting down if we're not holding the mutex. This can result in the analysis context being disposed of when we don't expect it, causing requests to the analyzer to return errors.

This change guards against this scenario by ensuring that all calls to findPreviewFunctions are guarded by the mutex. This change also removes assumptions related to the return type from analyzer APIs to account for the possibility that an error response was returned.

Fixes #178472

Code Review

This pull request improves the robustness of the widget preview detector by gracefully handling unexpected analysis context disposal. It introduces mutex guards to prevent race conditions and adds defensive checks for analyzer API calls that might fail during shutdown. Additionally, new regression tests are added to cover these scenarios. The changes are well-aligned with the goal of preventing crashes. I have one suggestion to improve the correctness of a new test case.
