[PATCH] gdb/python: Allow SIGTRAMP_FRAME python unwinders to be created.

Wine now executes Win32 code on a separate stack for its Unix code. It
switches from one stack to another on through specific functions, and
without any custom unwinders, debugging Wine in Gdb will only let you
see the frames of either the Win32 side, or the Unix side.

The Win32 and Unix call stacks are actually interleaved, with Unix code
sometimes calling back into Win32. Using a custom Python frame unwinder
we can provide Gdb with the information it needs to join both toghether
and show a complete interleaved call stack. However, Gdb will often stop
unwinding as it will see the frames from one stack as inner the frames
from the other stack.

This allows to write custom unwinders to produce SIGTRAMP_FRAME typed
frames, which bypasses this restriction and will show the Win32 / Unix
gate as a signal frame.
