Lingao Meng 2a6059a206 arch/sim: walk frame-pointer chain for non-running tasks in up_backtrace
The previous up_backtrace() relied entirely on host_backtrace() (a thin
wrapper around glibc's backtrace()), which can only unwind the host
thread that calls it.  As a result, when assert / dump_tasks() walked the
task list and called sched_dumpstack() for every task, every task other
than the currently-running one returned a zero-length backtrace, and the
output was silently dropped.  In practice this meant that on sim only
the crashing task ever produced a usable trace.

Fix this by walking the frame-pointer chain ourselves whenever the
target tcb is not the running task.  Because sim's setjmp/longjmp is
provided by NuttX itself (libs/libc/machine/sim/arch_setjmp_*.S) and not
by host libc, the rbp/rsp/rip (or arm fp/sp/pc) saved in tcb->xcp.regs
are plain unmangled pointers, identical across Linux, macOS and Windows
hosts.  The frame layout ([fp]=prev fp, [fp+1]=return address) is also
shared by every host ABI sim supports (x86, x86_64, ARM, ARM64).

The walker validates that fp lies inside the task's stack and is
properly aligned, and stops when fp[0] is NULL, so a corrupted stack
cannot make us read out of bounds.  The running-task path is unchanged
and still uses host_backtrace() so DWARF unwinding through host
libraries continues to work.

Requires CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y so the compiler emits a usable fp link.
