[committed] libstdc++: Remove invalid entry from the end of std::stacktrace

The backtrace_simple function seems to consistently invoke the callback
with an invalid -1UL value as the last entry, which seems to come from
_Unwind_Backtrace. The glibc backtrace(3) function has a special case to
not include that final invalid address, but libbacktrace doesn't seem to
handle it. Do so in std::stacktrace::current() instead.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/std/stacktrace (basic_stacktrace::current): Call
	_M_trim before returning.
	(basic_stacktrace::_M_trim): New member function.
---

Tested x86_64-linux. Pushed to trunk.
