Radically simplify stack linking. 

This commit:

  * Gets rid of 2nd init trampoline.
  * Gets rid of any custom CFI, instead using the standard CFI
    for target prologue.
  * Makes backtraces accessible to tools that only track frame
    pointer chains, like perf or dtrace.
  * Keeps the performance at the exact same level.

// compute a memory location as CFA+n). A .cfi_offset pseudoinstruction changes

//
// A high-level overview of the function of the trampolines is:
// * The 2nd init trampoline puts a controlled value (written in swap to `new_cfa`)

// * The 1st init trampoline tells the unwinder to set r1 to r13, thus continuing
// unwinding at the swap call site instead of falling off the end of context stack.
// * The 1st init trampoline together with the swap trampoline also restore r2
// when unwinding as well as returning normally, because LLVM does not do it for us.
