[RFC][PATCH] Teach gdb how to unwind cygwin _sigbe and sigdelayed frames


The majority of functions in the cygwin DLL are wrapped by routines which use an
an alternate stack to return via a signal handler if a signal occured while
inside the function. (See [1],[2])

At present, these frames cannot be correctly unwound by gdb.  There doesn't seem
to currently be a way to correctly describe these frames using DWARF CFI.

So instead, write a custom unwinder for _sigbe and sigdelayed frames, which gets
the return address from the alternate stack.

The offset of tls::stackptr from TIB.stacktop is determined by analyzing the
code in _sigbe or sigdelayed.

This can backtrace from _sigbe and from a sighandler through sigdelayed.

Implemented for amd64 and i386

Issues:

1. Ideally, we should detect if we are in the wrapper after the return address
has been popped off the alternate stack, and if so, fetch the return address
from the register it's been popped into.

2. If there are multiple _sigbe or sigdelayed stack frames to be unwound, this
only unwinds the first one correctly, because we don't unwind the value of the
alternate stack pointer itself.

This is no worse than currently, when we can't even unwind one of these frames,
but isn't quite correct.

I guess this could be handled by defining a pseduo-register to track it's value
as we unwind the stack.  Some pointers as to how to go about that would be
appreciated.
