loaded/parsed. Should add timers to this eventually.
Delay getting a full UnwindPlan if it's possible to unwind with
just a fast UnwindPlan. This keeps us from reading the eh_frame
section unless we hit something built -fomit-frame pointer or we
hit a frame with no symbol (read: no start address) available.
It doesn't look like it is correctly falling back to using the
full UnwindPlan to provide additional registers that the fast
UnwindPlan doesn't supply; e.g. go to the middle of a stack and
ask for r12 and it will show you the value of r12 in frame 0.
That's a bug for tomorrow.

Not yet enabled as the default unwinder but there are no known
backtrace problems with the code at this point.
Added 'log enable lldb unwind' to help diagnose backtrace problems;
this output needs a little refining but it's a good first step.
eh_frame information is currently read unconditionally - the code
is structured to allow this to be delayed until it's actually needed.
There is a performance hit when you have to parse the eh_frame
information for any largeish executable/library so it's necessary
to avoid if possible.
It's confusing having both the UnwindPlan::RegisterLocation struct
and the RegisterConextLLDB::RegisterLocation struct, I need to rename
one of them.
The writing of registers isn't done in the RegisterConextLLDB subclass
yet; neither is the running of complex DWARF expressions from eh_frame
(e.g. used for _sigtramp on Mac OS X).

The Unwind and RegisterContext subclasses still need
to be finished; none of this code is used by lldb at
this point (unless you call into it by hand).
The ObjectFile class now has an UnwindTable object.
The UnwindTable object has a series of FuncUnwinders
objects (Function Unwinders) -- one for each function
in that ObjectFile we've backtraced through during this
debug session.
The FuncUnwinders object has a few different UnwindPlans.
UnwindPlans are a generic way of describing how to find
the canonical address of a given function's stack frame
(the CFA idea from DWARF/eh_frame) and how to restore the
caller frame's register values, if they have been saved
by this function.
UnwindPlans are created from different sources. One source is the
eh_frame exception handling information generated by the compiler
for unwinding an exception throw. Another source is an assembly
language inspection class (UnwindAssemblyProfiler, uses the Plugin
architecture) which looks at the instructions in the funciton
prologue and describes the stack movements/register saves that are
done.
Two additional types of UnwindPlans that are worth noting are
the "fast" stack UnwindPlan which is useful for making a first
pass over a thread's stack, determining how many stack frames there
are and retrieving the pc and CFA values for each frame (enough
to create StackFrameIDs). Only a minimal set of registers is
recovered during a fast stack walk.
The final UnwindPlan is an architectural default unwind plan.
These are provided by the ArchDefaultUnwindPlan class (which uses
the plugin architecture). When no symbol/function address range can
be found for a given pc value -- when we have no eh_frame information
and when we don't have a start address so we can't examine the assembly
language instrucitons -- we have to make a best guess about how to
unwind. That's when we use the architectural default UnwindPlan.
On x86_64, this would be to assume that rbp is used as a stack pointer
and we can use that to find the caller's frame pointer and pc value.
It's a last-ditch best guess about how to unwind out of a frame.
There are heuristics about when to use one UnwindPlan versues the other --
this will all happen in the still-begin-written UnwindLLDB subclass of
Unwind which runs the UnwindPlans.
