[RFC 3/5] configure: Add --enable-sframe option

From: Claudiu Zissulescu <claudiu.zissulescu-ianculescu@oracle.com>

Enable SFrame stack track information. The --enable-sframe option
allows the glibc build to compile with SFrame stack track
information. Thus, enabling glibc's backtrace to work within glibc.
