runtime: handle inlined calls in runtime.Callers
The `skip` argument passed to runtime.Caller and runtime.Callers should be interpreted as the number of logical calls to skip (rather than the number of physical stack frames to skip). This changes runtime.Callers to skip inlined calls in addition to physical stack frames. The result value of runtime.Callers is a slice of program counters ([]uintptr) representing physical stack frames. If the `skip` parameter to runtime.Callers skips part-way into a physical frame, there is no convenient way to encode that in the resulting slice. To avoid changing the API in an incompatible way, our solution is to store the number of skipped logical calls of the first frame in the _second_ uintptr returned by runtime.Callers. Since this number is a small integer, we encode it as a valid PC value into a small symbol called: runtime.skipPleaseUseCallersFrames For example, if f() calls g(), g() calls `runtime.Callers(2, pcs)`, and g() is inlined into f, then the frame for f will be partially skipped, resulting in the following slice: pcs = []uintptr{pc_in_f, runtime.skipPleaseUseCallersFrames+1, ...} We store the skip PC in pcs[1] instead of pcs[0] so that `pcs[i:]` will truncate the captured stack trace rather than grow it for all i.
