[patch/rfc] Make `struct frame_info' opaque ish


This one needs some thought,

It `hacks' "frame.h" and "frame.c" so that, except for old old non-multi-arch targets that use EXTRA_FRAME_INFO, the `struct frame_info' object is opaque.

The objective is to stop existing code accessing frame info internals - the next step in the frame overhaul involves changing certain internals and I'd like to be certain that nothing is assessing the old internal structures.

In the long run, the `struct frame_info' would be moved to "frame.c".

Thoughts?

Sooner or later, there will need to be a flag day when this patch is committed (I'd prefer sooner so it is well before the 5.4 branch).

In the mean time, I get to try this patch out on various platforms and fix any breakage. I encourage others to do the same on their platform.

enjoy,
Andrew

	* frame.h (struct frame_info): Only declare when either FRAME_C or
	EXTRA_FRAME_INFO is defined.
	* frame.c (FRAME_C): Define.
