unwind_user/eh_frame: Wire up unwind_user to eh_frame

This commit hooks up the eh_frame infrastructure to the unwind_user
interface. It enables the unwinder to use eh_frame data for user space
stack traces.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this need to adjust state->ip for return addresses?

Since state->ip points to the instruction after the call, if a function
call is the final instruction of a block or function, passing the
unadjusted ip to eh_frame_find() might cause it to match the next
function's FDE instead of the caller's.

Would it be better to pass an adjusted instruction pointer (like
state->topmost ? state->ip : state->ip - 1) to ensure the correct unwind
rules are retrieved during normal user space unwinding?
