std.debug: significantly speed up capturing stack traces
By my estimation, these changes speed up DWARF unwinding when using the
self-hosted x86_64 backend by around 7x. There are two very significant
enhancements: we no longer iterate frames which don't fit in the stack
trace buffer, and we cache register rules (in a fixed buffer) to avoid
re-parsing and evaluating CFI instructions in most cases. Alongside this
are a bunch of smaller enhancements, such as pre-caching the result of
evaluating the CIE's initial instructions, avoiding re-parsing of CIEs,
and big simplifications to the `Dwarf.Unwind.VirtualMachine` logic.

fix aarch64-macos DWARF unwinding
turns out this isn't technically specific to that target at all; other
targets just don't emit mid-function 'ret' instructions as much so
certain CFI instruction patterns were only seen on aarch64.

thanks to jacob for finding the bug <3
