Add gstack script
This commit adds support for a `gstack' command which Fedora has been carrying for many years. gstack is a natural counterpart to the gcore command. Whereas gcore dumps a core file, gstack prints stack traces of a running process. There are many improvements over Fedora's version of this script. The dependency on procfs is gone; gstack will run anywhere gdb runs. The only runtime dependencies are bash and awk. The script includes suggestions from gdb/32325 to include versioning and help. [If this approach to gdb/32325 is acceptable, I could propagate the solution to gcore/gdb-add-index.] I've rewritten the documentation, integrating it into the User Manual. The manpage is now output using this one source. Example run (on x86_64 Fedora 40) $ gstack --help Usage: gstack [-h|--help] [-v|--version] PID Print a stack trace of a running program -h, --help Print this message then exit. -v, --version Print version information then exit. $ gstack -v GNU gstack (GDB) 16.0.50.20241119-git $ gstack 12345678 Process 12345678 not found. $ gstack $(pidof emacs) Thread 6 (Thread 0x7fd5ec1c06c0 (LWP 2491423) "pool-spawner"): #0 0x00007fd6015ca3dd in syscall () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007fd60b31eccd in g_cond_wait () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #2 0x00007fd60b28a61b in g_async_queue_pop_intern_unlocked () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00007fd60b2f1a03 in g_thread_pool_spawn_thread () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x00007fd60b2f0813 in g_thread_proxy () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0x00007fd6015486d7 in start_thread () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #6 0x00007fd6015cc60c in clone3 () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #7 0x0000000000000000 in ???
