For supported architectures, lldb will do a static scan of the assembly instructions of a function to detect stack/frame pointer changes, register stores and loads, so we can retrieve register values for the caller stack frames.  We trust that the function address range reflects the actual function range, but in a stripped binary or other unusual environment, we can end up scanning all of the text as a single "function" which is (1) incorrect and useless, but more importantly (2) slow.

Cap the max size we will profile to 10MB of instructions.  There will surely be functions longer than this with no unwind info, and we will miss the final epilogue or mid-function epilogues past the first 10MB, but I think this will be unusual, and the failure more to missing the epilogue is that the user will need to step out an extra time or two as the StackID is not correctly calculated mid-epilogue.  I think this is a good tradeoff of behaviors.
