Doing "info frame" in the outermost frame, when that was indicated by
the next frame saying the unwound PC is undefined/not saved, results
in error and incomplete output:
(gdb) bt

(gdb) info frame
Stack level 2, frame at 0x0:
rip = 0x323d4f168d in clone (../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115); saved rip Register 16 was not saved
(gdb)
Not saved register values are treated as optimized out values
internally throughout. stack.c:frame_info is handing unvailable
values, but not optimized out ones. The patch deletes the
frame_unwind_caller_pc_if_available wrapper function and instead lets
errors propagate to frame_info (it's only user).
As frame_unwind_pc now needs to be able to handle and cache two
different error scenarios, the prev_pc.p variable is replaced with an
enumeration.
(FWIW, I looked into making gdbarch_unwind_pc or a variant return
struct value's instead, but it results in lots of boxing and unboxing
for no real gain -- e.g., the mips and arm implementations need to do
computation on the unboxed PC value. Might as well throw an error on
first attempt to get at invalid contents.)
After the patch, we get:
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 2, frame at 0x0:
rip = 0x323d4f168d in clone (../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:115); saved rip = <not saved>

(gdb)
A new test is added. It's based off dw2-reg-undefined.exp, and tweaked to
mark the return address (rip) of "stop_frame" as undefined.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
