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.

// while swapping context; this is an arbitrary choice
// (we clobber all registers and could use any of them) but this allows us
// to reuse the swap function to perform the initial call.
//
// To understand the DWARF CFI code in this file, keep in mind these facts:
// * CFI is "call frame information"; a set of instructions to a debugger or
// an unwinder that allow it to simulate returning from functions. This implies
// restoring every register to its pre-call state, as well as the stack pointer.
// * CFA is "call frame address"; the value of stack pointer right before the call
// instruction in the caller. Everything strictly below CFA (and inclusive until
// the next CFA) is the call frame of the callee. This implies that the return
// address is the part of callee's call frame.
// * Logically, DWARF CFI is a table where rows are instruction pointer values and
// columns describe where registers are spilled (mostly using expressions that
// compute a memory location as CFA+n). A .cfi_offset pseudoinstruction changes
// the state of a column for all IP numerically larger than the one it's placed
// after. A .cfi_def_* pseudoinstruction changes the CFA value similarly.
// * Simulating return is as easy as restoring register values from the CFI table
// and then setting stack pointer to CFA.
//
// 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`)
// into r13.
// * 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.
