71ad0f5e4e perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing
This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.

Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.

The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.

The unwind interface provides following function:
	unwind__get_entries

And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
	typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
					 void *arg);
