Paolo, please apply :-)

Some aids for debugging: stack dumping, register dumping, and printing
failing assertion conditions.

Compiled on ppc64, arm64, i386, x86_64.

v7:
	* Rebased.

v6:
	* Don't print dump_stack's call to backtrace() in the stack
	  trace rather than having backtrace() skip over the first
	  return address in the trace.
	* Actually removed lib/asm-generic/stack.c.

v5:
	* Removed unused "b" flag from run_tests.sh
	* Removed misleading comment in mkstandalone.sh.

v4:
	* Moved around arch and asm files per Linux style (hopefully).
	* Added --[enable|disable]-pretty-print-stacks to ./configure.
	  This has obviated the -p command-line option in
	  ./run_tests.sh that I introduced in v1.
	* Fixed arch-neutral backtrace so backtrace itself isn't
	  included.

v3:
	* Renamed functions to match standard backtrace functions
	* Added asm-generic stack walker that uses __builtin_return_address.
	* Moved offset out of libcflat and into pretty printer
	* Made pretty printer more robust w.r.t. errors: now it just
	  continues printing.

v2:
        * Fixed a bunch tests on x86 that broke with
          -fno-omit-frame-pointer.
        * Only use -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86. I suspect arm & ppc
          will have similar problems that I fixed for x86.
