Unfortunately, UNWIND_NULL_ID is exported to Python as
gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID so we can't really eliminate it.
(I'd assume scripts just check the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason,
and compare it to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NO_REASON. That at most, they'll
pass the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason to
gdb.frame_stop_reason_string. I'd prefer to just get rid of it, but
because we make an API promise, we get to keep this around for
compatibility, in case a script does refer to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID
directly.)

* gdb.texinfo (Frames In Python) <gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID>:
Update comment.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
gdb/
* frame.c (frame_stop_reason_string): Rewrite using
unwind_stop_reasons.def.
* frame.h (enum unwind_stop_reason): Likewise.
* python/py-frame.c (gdbpy_initialize_frames): Likewise.
(gdbpy_frame_stop_reason_string): Use new enum unwind_stop_reason
constants for bound-checking.
* unwind_stop_reasons.def: New file.
* stack.c (backtrace_command_1): Handle UNWIND_FIRST_ERROR as an alias
instead of a distinct value.
doc/
* gdb.texinfo ((Frames In Python): Document
gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_FIRST_ERROR contant.
