Insert static branch prediction predicates in useful places and avoid
unnecessary code in the hottest paths. Bypass unnecessary indirect
calls, in particular to access_mem(), when known to be safe.
Since the fast unwinding code path doesn't need the full context,
a faster target dependent getcontext is implemented.

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.
Usually we don't have a valid location for the SP but we keep calculating
the value of the CFA. The ARM backend should return this value instead.

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.

DWARF expressions are more powerful than the ARM specific unwind tables.
Therefore DWARF should be the preferred unwind method.

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.

Current implementation fails to find separate debug symbols when
.gnu_debuglink is set to the same name of the target ELF basename
(e.g. "libc.so.6" for /lib/libc.so.6). This patch fixes this by ignoring
separate debug files that contain a .gnu_debuglink section.
It also fixes a small typo in a related Debug() line.
