Heschi Kreinick ae6361e4bd runtime: handle morestack system stack transition in gentraceback
gentraceback handles system stack transitions, but only when they're
done by systemstack(). Handle morestack() too.

I tried to do this generically but systemstack and morestack are
actually *very* different functions. Most notably, systemstack returns
"normally", just messes with $sp along the way. morestack never
returns at all -- it calls newstack, and newstack then jumps both
stacks and functions back to whoever called morestack. I couldn't
think of a way to handle both of them generically. So don't.

The current implementation does not include systemstack on the generated
traceback. That's partly because I don't know how to find its stack frame
reliably, and partly because the current structure of the code wants to
do the transition before the call, not after. If we're willing to
assume that morestack's stack frame is 0 size, this could probably be
fixed.

For posterity's sake, alternatives tried:

- Have morestack put a dummy function into schedbuf, like systemstack
does. This actually worked (see patchset 1) but more by a series of
coincidences than by deliberate design. The biggest coincidence was that
because morestack_switch was a RET and its stack was 0 size, it actually
worked to jump back to it at the end of newstack -- it would just return
to the caller of morestack. Way too subtle for me, and also a little
slower than just jumping directly.

- Put morestack's PC and SP into schedbuf, so that gentraceback could
treat it like a normal function except for the changing SP. This was a
terrible idea and caused newstack to reenter morestack in a completely
unreasonable state.

To make testing possible I did a small redesign of testCPUProfile to
take a callback that defines how to check if the conditions pass to it
are satisfied. This seemed better than making the syntax of the "need"
strings even more complicated.

Updates #25943
