Rename unwinder functions for consistency and better naming.

	- Rename start_backtrace() to unwind_start().
	- Rename unwind_frame() to unwind_next().
	- Rename walk_stackframe() to unwind().
Super trivial, but could we s/unwind_start/unwind_init/ ? That makes it
slightly clearer that it's not performing an unwind step.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
Will do.
For the rename:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

It's be nice if we could also clean up 'struct stackframe' into 'struct
unwind_state', but that can be a follow-up, and this is fine as it is, modulo
the super trivial comment above.
I could do this rename as well in the next version if you want. Might as well
get all the renaming done in one shot.

Thanks,

Madhavan
