libbacktrace integration for _GLIBCXX_DEBUG mode

Here is a new proposal which I think take into account all your remarks.

I discovered the great "%.*s" printf format so I was able to do some 
cleanup on the function name without any allocation.

I also agree that counting the '>' or '<' is not reliable so I remove 
this and limit the cleanup to the __cxx1998 namespace and the __ 
uglification, it is still better than nothing.

I complete the doc as advised. I also added a note about making sure 
that _GLIBCXX_DEBUG_BACKTRACE is defined consistently throughout the 
application otherwise it would break the famous ODR rule.

I introduced a _GLIBCXX_DEBUG_USE_LIBBACKTRACE to know when the system 
is able to handle libbacktrace even if the user didn't activate it. I 
could undef if when I am not building the library but I don't remember 
if there is a macro to signal that library is being built ?

Here is an output sample now:

/home/fdt/dev/gcc/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/debug/string:177:
In function:
     gnu_debug::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, 
_Allocator>::basic_string(const
     _CharT*, gnu_debug::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits,

_Traits
     = std::char_traits<char>; _Allocator = std::allocator<char>;
     gnu_debug::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Allocator>::size_type = long
     unsigned int]
