gdb: Migrate frame unwinders to use C++ classes

Frame unwinders have historically been a structure populated with
callback pointers, so that architectures (or other specific unwinders)
could install their own way to handle the inferior. However, since
moving to c++, we could use polymorphism to get the same functionality
in a more readable way. Polymorphism also makes it simpler to add new
functionality to all frame unwinders, since all that's required is
adding it to the base class.

As part of the changes to add support to disabling frame unwinders,
this commit makes the first baby step in  using polymorphism for the
frame unwinders, by making frame_unwind a virtual class, and adds 3 new
classes. The main class added is frame_unwind_legacy, which works the
same as the previous structs, using function pointers as callbacks. This
class was added to allow the transition to happen piecemeal. New
unwinders should instead follow the lead of the other 2 classes
implemented.

The other 2, frame_unwind_python and frame_unwind_trampoline, were added
because it seemed simpler at the moment to do that instead of reworking
the dynamic allocation to work with the legacy class, and can be used as
an example to future implementations.
