Backtracing through eh_frame section is more effective allowing to reuse
ebp register for other purposes within routine. GCC with turned on
optimizations (-O1 and above) implicitly defines -fomit-frame-pointer
anyway. eh_frame sections are generated by default with GCC on any
optimization level.
This change implements remote unwinding (separate process unwinding).
Local unwinding is already implemented through _Unwind_Backtrace call
which is implemented in libgcc.

bionic's __stack_chk_fail was preventing debuggerd from dumping
stacks, which was not helpful.

So "thread-nostack" runs the "nostack" code on a new thread, and
"thread-abort" runs the "abort" code on a new thread, and so on.
