This patch series started with me trying to make it easier to test GDB's
ability to unwind using CFI data, to improve a previous patch I sent to
the list.

The first patch is just a minor change, storing frame unwinders in a
vector instead of through an unwinder table accessible using the
registry system. This isn't required (like I originally thought it was),
but it does make the whole system more readable in my opinion.

Patch 3 has the real meat of the modernization, making GDB use
polymorphism to handle frame unwinders. This is slightly slower than
using function pointers, but much more readable in my opinion. Also, as
noted by Thiago Bauermann, no frame unwinders that use the legacy class
ever pass a frame_data pointer, so that field was removed from those
unwinders.

As for the unwinder classes, they were chosen somewhat arbitrarily,
mostly based on where I found an unwinder and its name.

Patch 4 also reverts commit 3c3bb0580be0 since that patch pointed out
that if a more generic system was implemented it could be reverted.

Patch number 2 has already been reviewed by Eli. Patch 4 had been
reviewed as well, but the patch reversion introduced significant
differences in the documentation, I believe it should be reviewed again.

Changes for v5:
* Reverted commit 3c3bb0580be0, with patch 4 following the advice on
  that commit
* on patch 3, some of the original functions were converted into the
  classes' methods instead of just passing the call along.
* some methods of frame_unwind_legacy were switched to be purely
  virtual

Changes for v4:
* Rebase on current master (No changes needed)
* improved documentation of unwinder classes follow Eli feedback
* added KFAIL to new test on patch 5 if running on 32 bit arm

Changes for v3:
* Fixed Linaro CI issue in 32 bit arm
* Fixed the few comments from Eli.
* Documented addition of unwinder class in the patch that adds it.

Changes for v2:
* Added back the test that checks if GDB can handle a mix of CUs with
  and without debuginfo in a single backtrace.
* Fixed all the nitpicks for style.
* Removed FRAME_UNWIND_ prefix when talking about classes
* Thoroughly changed the documentation, to be more readable
