Pedro Alves d4c16835ca Make "backtrace" support -OPT options
This adds support for comand options to the "backtrace" command.  We'll get:

  (gdb) bt -
  -entry-values         -hide                 -past-main
  -frame-arguments      -no-filters           -raw-frame-arguments
  -full                 -past-entry

~~~~
(gdb) help backtrace
Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT]

Options:
  -entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
    Set printing of function arguments at function entry
    GDB can sometimes determine the values of function arguments at entry,
    in addition to their current values.  This option tells GDB whether
    to print the current value, the value at entry (marked as val@entry),
    or both.  Note that one or both of these values may be <optimized out>.

  -frame-arguments all|scalars|none
    Set printing of non-scalar frame arguments

  -raw-frame-arguments [on|off]
    Set whether to print frame arguments in raw form.
    If set, frame arguments are printed in raw form, bypassing any
    pretty-printers for that value.

  -past-main [on|off]
    Set whether backtraces should continue past "main".
    Normally the caller of "main" is not of interest, so GDB will terminate
    the backtrace at "main".  Set this if you need to see the rest
    of the stack trace.

  -past-entry [on|off]
    Set whether backtraces should continue past the entry point of a program.
    Normally there are no callers beyond the entry point of a program, so GDB
    will terminate the backtrace there.  Set this if you need to see
    the rest of the stack trace.

  -full
    Print values of local variables.

  -no-filters
    Prohibit frame filters from executing on a backtrace.

  -hide
    Causes Python frame filter elided frames to not be printed.

For backward compatibility, the following qualifiers are supported:

   full       - same as -full option.
   no-filters - same as -no-filters option.
   hide       - same as -hide.

With a negative COUNT, print outermost -COUNT frames.
~~~~

Implementation wise, this:

- Moves relevant options/settings globals to structures.
- Tweaks a number of functions to pass down references to such structures.
- Adds option_def structures describing the options/settings.
- Makes backtrace_command parse the options, with gdb::option::process_options.
- Tweaks "backtrace"'s help to describe the new options.
- Adds testcases.

Note that backtrace is a PROCESS_OPTIONS_UNKNOWN_IS_OPERAND command,
because of the "-COUNT" argument.

The COUNT/-COUNT argument is currently parsed as an expression.  I
considered whether it would be prudent here to require "--", but
concluded that the risk of causing a significant breakage here is much
lower compared to "print", since printing the expression is not the
whole point of the "backtrace" command.  Seems OK to me to require
typing "backtrace -past-main -- -p" if the user truly wants to refer
to the negative of a backtrace count stored in an inferior variable
called "p".

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
