[PATCH 2/4] Make the backtrace-data test helper more robust


When unwinding by frame pointer the unwinder might ask for invalid
addresses. We don't have to fail the test in this case. In fact
any broken dwarf information can lead to requests for invalid
addresses, also without frame pointer unwinding.

+	* backtrace-data.c: Don't assert that symbols are found.
+	The unwinder is allowed to ask for invalid addresses. We deny
+	such requests, rather than make the test fail.
