Masami Hiramatsu (Google) ecfad17122 decode_stacktrace: decode caller address
Decode the caller address instead of the return address by default.  This
also introduced -R option to provide return address decoding mode.

This changes the decode_stacktrace.sh to decode the line info 1byte before
the return address which will be the call(branch) instruction address.  If
the return address is a symbol address (zero offset from it), it falls
back to decoding the return address.

This improves results especially when optimizations have changed the order
of the lines around the return address, or when the return address does
not have the actual line information.

With this change;

Without this (or give -R option);
