Description
Right now the debugger tries to be smart and use the best symbol. However, we should offer an option in the stack trace widget to select from these options:
- Smart (automatically decide the best one to use)
- Always show symbol reported by the back-end
- Always show symbols from the analysis

Research direction
Start by locating the stack trace widget and the current logic that chooses between backend-reported symbols and analysis symbols. Add the three requested selection modes—Smart, backend symbol, and analysis symbol—and verify that each mode controls the symbols shown in stack traces.
