[PATCH v9 10/10] gdb: Filter trampoline frames in backtrace when using Python frame-filters.

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

In case of the Python frame-filters, this change filters trampoline functions
when the option 'skip-trampoline-functions' is set to 'on'.  GDB recently
added the option to hide frames that are marked by the compiler with
"DW_AT_trampoline", see commit 'Skip trampoline frames for the backtrace
command'.  This implements the same functionality when python frame filters
are in use.

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-framefilter
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_high_pc   (0x000000000040435f)
                DW_AT_frame_base        (DW_OP_reg6 RBP)
                DW_AT_linkage_name      ("second_.t74p.t75p")
                DW_AT_name      ("second_.t74p.t75p")
                DW_AT_trampoline        ("second_")

0x0000015a:   DW_TAG_subprogram
                DW_AT_low_pc    (0x00000000004044a0)
                DW_AT_high_pc   (0x00000000004044af)
                DW_AT_frame_base        (DW_OP_reg6 RBP)
                DW_AT_linkage_name      ("first_.t104p.t105p")
                DW_AT_name      ("first_.t104p.t105p")
                DW_AT_trampoline        ("first_")

Once frame filters are enabled the backtrace command output before this
change looks like:

'''
(gdb) info frame-filter
global frame-filters:
  Priority  Enabled  Name
  100       Yes      TestTrampolineFrameFilter
(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 this change:

'''
(gdb) info frame-filter
global frame-filters:
  Priority  Enabled  Name
  100       Yes      TestTrampolineFrameFilter
(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
(gdb) backtrace -3
\#2  0x00000000004051e3 in first (num1=16, num2=3) at test.f90:10
\#4  0x0000000000405234 in func_trampoline () at test.f90:17
'''

New test gdb.python/py-framefilter-trampoline.exp is added to test this change.
