This patch add support for resuming at a certain stack frame even if signal
frames are involved. For restoring the registers the trampoline (sigreturn)
is used. RT and non-RT signal frames are handled for both >=2.6.18 and
<2.6.18 kernels.

Since the fast unwinding code path doesn't need the full context,
a faster target dependent getcontext is implemented.

In order to have the DWARF_* macros working properly a generic and a local
variant of the ex_tables.c have been created.

Dropping the extra frame for unw_backtrace itself using unw_step is
approximately 15% slower than skipping the frame in tdep_trace. So
drop the frame in the latter, and make the function a private
implementation detail for libunwind, not an exported interface.
Also moves unw_getcontext call back into unw_backtrace to avoid an
extra call frame in case slow_backtrace does not get inlined into
unw_backtrace.
Adds new function to perform a pure stack walk without unwinding,
functionally similar to backtrace() but accelerated by an address
attribute cache the caller maintains across calls.
Using malloc is not an option since unw_init_local and unw_step are supposed
to be async signal safe. Therefore this code path can be removed.

There is no need for libunwind to set/fake a name of the elf file from which
the program header came from.

Move code that does not necessarily need to reside in the ex_tables.h header
file into ex_tables.c. Add comments and remove unused code.

This eliminates the arm_stackframe and therefore the need to synchronize the
two models. It also clears the way for unwinding call stacks with mixed
DWARF- and extbl-frames.

Uses ex_tables routines to provide a new means of unwinding the stack.
Set UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=4 to use ARM-specific unwinding tables.

This results in different unwi_unwind_method symbol names for the local and
generic versions. It allows to statically link against both libraries.
