Remove tdesc stuff. Remove FRAME_CHAIN_COMBINE from all tm-*.h files,
since it was always defined exactly the same in all of them.

+/* Support an alternate method to avoid running off the bottom of
+ the stack (or top, depending upon your stack orientation).
+
+ There are two frames that are "special", the frame for the function
+ containing the process entry point, since it has no predecessor frame,
+ and the frame for the function containing the user code entry point
+ (the main() function), since all the predecessor frames are for the
+ process startup code. Since we have no guarantee that the linked
+ in startup modules have any debugging information that gdb can use,
+ we need to avoid following frame pointers back into frames that might
+ have been built in the startup code, as we might get hopelessly
+ confused. However, we almost always have debugging information
+ available for main().
+
+ These variables are used to save the range of PC values which are valid
+ within the main() function and within the function containing the process
+ entry point. If we always consider the frame for main() as the outermost
+ frame when debugging user code, and the frame for the process entry
+ point function as the outermost frame when debugging startup code, then
+ all we have to do is have FRAME_CHAIN_VALID return false whenever a
+ frame's current PC is within the range specified by these variables.
+ In essence, we set "blocks" in the frame chain beyond which we will
+ not proceed when following the frame chain.
+
+ A nice side effect is that we can still debug startup code without
+ running off the end of the frame chain, assuming that we have usable
+ debugging information in the startup modules, and if we choose to not
+ use the block at main, or can't find it for some reason, everything
+ still works as before. And if we have no startup code debugging
+ information but we do have usable information for main(), backtraces
+ from user code don't go wandering off into the startup code.
+
+ To use this method, define your FRAME_CHAIN_VALID macro like:
+
+ #define FRAME_CHAIN_VALID(chain, thisframe) \
+ (chain != 0 \
+ && !(inside_main_scope ((thisframe)->pc)) \
+ && !(inside_entry_scope ((thisframe)->pc)))
+
+ and add initializations of the four scope controlling variables inside
+ the object file / debugging information processing modules. */
