Inside ELF Symbol Tables (.symtab and .dynsym)

Sometimes it's useful to print backtrace or stacktrace by explicitly
write a request inside source code.

This patch implements stacktrace() function for this.  It's implemented
in two different versions.  In debug mode, it uses an external libunwind
library and it's output looks as follows.

  Stack trace:
    #1  0x000000449ef9 parse_argspec + 0x5d6
    #2  0x00000044b76c parse_argument_spec + 0x70

    #16 0x7f4e1df33840 __libc_start_main + 0xf0
    #17 0x000000405499 _start + 0x29

In release mode, it's better not to rely on an external library, so it
just uses builtin backtrace() function, but it can't print static
functions.  The example output looks as follows.

    #1  uftrace(parse_argspec+0x4d1) [0x43dd01]
