Remove verbose code from backtrace command
In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00741.html,
Pedro asks:
> Doesn't the "info verbose on" bit affect frame filters too?
The answer is that yes, it could. However, it's not completely
effective, because the C code can't guess how many frames might need
to be unwound to satisfy the request -- a frame filter will request as
many frames as it needs.
Also, I tried removing this code from backtrace, and I think the
result is better without it. In particular, now the expansion line
occurs just before the frame that caused the expansion, like:
(gdb) bt no-filters
#0 0x00007ffff576cecd in poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6
Reading in symbols for ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/event-loop.c...done.
#1 0x00000000007ecc33 in gdb_wait_for_event (block=1)
at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/event-loop.c:772
#2 0x00000000007ec006 in gdb_do_one_event ()
at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/event-loop.c:347
#3 0x00000000007ec03e in start_event_loop ()

Reading in symbols for ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/exceptions.c...done.
data=0x0) at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:325
So, I am proposing this patch to simply remove this code.
