RFA: Recognize bottom of stack on Linux

[Jim Blandy]

Now, some folks feel that GDB should show the whole stack, including
_start, __libc_start_main, and anything else that's there.  However,
this isn't the way GDB has ever traditionally behaved on native
targets.  So this patch makes GDB's backtraces end after main.

	* i386-linux-tdep.c (i386_linux_frame_chain): Stop the frame chain
	after `main', not just after the compilation unit containing the
	entry point.
