An AArch64 sigreturn trampoline frame can't currently be described
in a DWARF .eh_frame section, because the AArch64 DWARF spec currently
doesn't define a constant for the PC register. (PC and LR may need to
be restored to different values.)

Instead, use the same technique as libgcc or github.com/libunwind and
detect the sigreturn frame by looking for the sigreturn instructions:

  mov x8, #0x8b
  svc #0x0

If a sigreturn frame is detected, libunwind restores all the GPRs by
assuming that sp points at an rt_sigframe Linux kernel struct. This
behavior is a fallback mode that is only used if there is no ordinary
unwind info for sigreturn.

If libunwind can't find unwind info for a PC, it assumes that the PC is
readable, which could crash if it points at an XOM
(execute-only-memory) function or is invalid.
