[RFA] Add epilogue unwinder for AMD64


This patch corresponds to the similar one in i386-tdep.c, and
corrects for a gcc issue with elf/dwarf debug info in function
epilogues.  It is needed in order to make reverse-step and next
work properly for stepping backward through a return.

No testsuite regressions.

OK to commit?

2009-08-16  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>

	* amd64-tdep.c: Add a frame unwinder for function epilogues.
	(amd64_in_function_epilogue_p): New function.
	(amd64_epilogue_frame_sniffer): New function.
	(amd64_epilogue_frame_cache): New function.
	(amd64_epilogue_frame_this_id): New function.
	(amd64_epilogue_frame_unwind): New struct frame_unwind.
	(amd64_init_abi): Hook the new unwinder.
