runtime: implement traceback iterator
Currently, all stack walking logic is in one venerable, large, and
very, very complicated function: runtime.gentraceback. This function
has three distinct operating modes: printing, populating a PC buffer,
or invoking a callback. And it has three different modes of unwinding:
physical Go frames, inlined Go frames, and cgo frames. It also has
several flags. All of this logic is very interwoven.
This CL reimplements the monolithic gentraceback function as an
"unwinder" type with an iterator API. It moves all of the logic for
stack walking into this new type, and gentraceback is now a
much-simplified wrapper around the new unwinder type that still
implements printing, populating a PC buffer, and invoking a callback.
Follow-up CLs will replace uses of gentraceback with direct uses of
unwinder.
Exposing traceback functionality as an iterator API will enable a lot
of follow-up work such as simplifying the open-coded defer
implementation (which should in turn help with #26813 and #37233),
printing the bottom of deep stacks (#7181), and eliminating the small
limit on CPU stacks in profiles (#56029).
Fixes #54466.
