[libcxxabi] Make _Unwind_Backtrace() work on ARM.

Summary

Since the personality functions do the actual unwinding on ARM, and will
also stop unwinding when they encounter a handler, we invoke
_Unwind_VRS_Interpret() directly form _Unwind_Backtrace().

To simplify, the logic for decoding an EHT is moved out of
unwindOneFrame() and into its own function, decode_eht_entry(). Unlike
unwindOneFrame(), which could only handle ARM's compact personality
function entries (section 6.3) decode_eht_entry() can handle the generic
entries (section 6.2).

This is an implementation detail, and doesn't belong in the public interface. Can this go in a header in src/Unwind?

The assert should stay.

const_cast is icky. can we make this return const uint32_t*?

This needs to go before the callback is called, otherwise the first callback would have the context corresponding to the _Unwind_Backtrace function itself. The best place is probably right under the if (unw_step(...)) { block.

Add test and fix ordering of unwinding in _Unwind_Backtrace() (was
unwinding after calling callback, causing _Unwind_Backtrace() to be
included in backtrace).

with the assert added back, LGTM.

I'll think about how to make the asserts tighter, and we can come back & fix up the test case if there ends up being a better way to do that.

src/Unwind/Unwind-EHABI.cpp
174

assert((*unwindingData & 0xf0000000) == 0x80000000 && "Must be a compact entry");

Mmh, this makes assumptions about the personality routine doesn't it?
The generic model is supposed to be compatible with a variety of languages and I'm not sure we can assume the generic data is the same as what the C++ personality routine expects, can we?

In the generic model, the unwind opcodes come first, and then the LSDA comes after... this looks correct to me.
