[PATCH v8 04/10] gdb: Skip trampoline frames for the backtrace command.

From: "Ijaz, Abdul B" <abdul.b.ijaz@intel.com>

This change filters trampoline functions when the option
'skip-trampoline-functions' is set to 'on' for the backtrace command.
Before the change, GDB prints the frames indicated by the compiler with
DIE "DW_AT_trampoline" in the backtrace, but for better user experience,
all such frames can be hidden from the user.

The test 'gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack' test used to fail for the IFX
compiler because of extra trampoline frames in the backtrace.  After the
commit, those trampoline frames are filtered and test is updated accordingly.

Extra trampoline frames:

bt -frame-arguments all
'''
\#8  0x0000000000405535 in mixed_func_1b_.t86p.t87p.t88p.t89p.t90p.t91p.t3v ()
\#10 0x0000000000405439 in mixed_func_1a_.void () at mixed-lang-stack.f90:33
'''
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack.exp: lang=auto: bt -frame-arguments all

In this example the IFX compiler emits "DW_AT_trampoline" tag for the 'first'
and 'second' trampoline functions like following:

function second (x, y) result(z)
  integer, intent(in) :: x, y
  integer :: z
  z = x * y ! breakpt-backtrace
end function second

function first (num1, num2) result(total)
  integer, intent(in) :: num1, num2
  integer  :: total
  total = second (num1 + 4, num2 * 3) ! first-breakpt
  total = total + 30
end function first

                DW_AT_name      ("second_.t74p.t75p")
                DW_AT_trampoline        ("second_")

                DW_AT_linkage_name      ("first_.t104p.t105p")
                DW_AT_name      ("first_.t104p.t105p")
                DW_AT_trampoline        ("first_")

Before this change, the backtrace command output looks like:

'''
(gdb) backtrace 3
\#0  second (x=20, y=9) at test.f90:4
\#1  0x0000000000405209 in second_.t74p.t75p () at test.f90:12
\#2  0x00000000004051e3 in first (num1=16, num2=3) at test.f90:10
(gdb) backtrace -3
\#2  0x00000000004051e3 in first (num1=16, num2=3) at test.f90:10
\#3  0x0000000000405309 in first_.t95p.t96p () at test.f90:21
\#4  0x0000000000405234 in func_trampoline () at test.f90:17
'''

After the change:
'''
(gdb) backtrace 3
\#0  second (x=20, y=9) at test.f90:4
\#2  0x00000000004051e3 in first (num1=16, num2=3) at test.f90:10
\#4  0x0000000000405234 in func_trampoline () at test.f90:17

\#4  0x0000000000405234 in func_trampoline () at test.f90:17
'''

The test gdb.fortran/func-trampoline.exp is added for testing the change.
