Support generation of CFI in .debug_frame format.
.debug_frame section is almost identical to .eh_frame section.
There are only minor differences in the CIE and FDE headers.
The main difference is that .eh_frame is intended to be used
at runtime for exception handling and is therefore allocated
within the running program whereas .debug_frame is not.
This makes .debug_frame easier to remove using standard tools.
"objcopy --strip-debug" removes .debug_frame, but not .eh_frame.
(although objcopy can be still be forced to remove .eh_frame)
Similarly, we might want to separate the CFI to separate debug
file or include it as compressed .gnu_debugdata section.
It is more appropriate to use .debug_frame for this purpose.
