Parse short backtraces out of debuginfo

This implements the runtime side of rust-lang/compiler-team#818.

- Extract a helper out of `find_frames` for iterating over a `LookupContinuation`
- Make the type signature for `search_object_map` consistent across all platforms. Backtraces are inherently platform specific, but let's not make it any harder on ourselves than we have to.
- Add a new `pub fn short_backtraces() -> enum { ThisFrameOnly, Start, End }` API
- Use the new [`gimli::UnitRef::shared_attrs`](gimli-rs/gimli#756) API to determine whether a given frame has a short backtrace. This, for now, requires a git dependency on gimli.
