In skip_artificial_frames we repeatedly call get_prev_frame_always until we get
a non-inline and non-tailcall frame assuming that there must be such a frame
eventually.
For record targets, however, we may have a frame chain that consists only of
artificial frames. This leads to a crash in get_frame_type when dereferencing a
NULL frame pointer.
Change skip_artificial_frames and skip_tailcall_frames to return NULL in such a
case and modify each caller to cope with a NULL return.
In frame_unwind_caller_pc and frame_unwind_caller_arch, we simply assert that
the returned value is not NULL. Their caller was supposed to check
frame_unwind_caller_id before calling those functions.
In other cases, we thrown an error.
In infcmd further move the skip_tailcall_frames call to the forward-stepping
case since we don't need a frame for reverse execution and we don't want to fail
because of that. Reverse-finish does make sense for a tailcall frame.
