Summary:
This patch introduces stack frame compression to GWP-ASan. Each stack frame is
variable-length integer encoded as the difference between frame[i] and
frame[i - 1]. Furthermore, we use zig-zag encoding on the difference to ensure
that negative differences are also encoded into a relatively small number of
bytes.
Examples of what the compression looks like can be seen in
`gwp_asan/tests/compression.cpp`.
This compression can reduce the memory consumption cost of stack traces by
~50%.
