test_c_stack_unwind fails on Linux LoongArch builds

Bug report

Bug description:

On the Linux LoongArch64 platform, the test_c_stack_unwind test fails because CPython's manually implemented frame-pointer unwinding mechanism fails to recognize the LoongArch stack frame layout (as it relies on the default FRAME_POINTER_NEXT_OFFSET and FRAME_POINTER_RETURN_OFFSET). This issue affects builds using both GCC and Clang.

In the LoongArch architecture, the frame pointer points to the caller's stack pointer; the previous frame pointer is stored at fp[-2], and the return address is stored at fp[-1].

Additionally, for CPython builds compiled with Clang, unexpected failures occur in test sections involving the GNU backtrace() function. By default, Clang/LoongArch generates .debug_frame sections but does not generate the .eh_frame unwinding tables required for runtime unwinding of CPython's C objects. Consequently, glibc's backtrace() returns only a single stack frame and cannot unwind through Python stack frames.

Reproducer

GCC build:

../cpython/configure --with-pydebug CC=gcc
make -j8
PYTHON_JIT=0 ./python -m test -v test_c_stack_unwind

clang build:

../cpython/configure --with-pydebug CC=clang
make -j8
PYTHON_JIT=0 ./python -m test -v test_c_stack_unwind

Führe PYTHON_JIT=0 ./python -m test -v test_c_stack_unwind unter Linux LoongArch64 sowohl mit GCC als auch mit Clang aus und untersuche anschließend die manuell implementierte Frame-Pointer-Entstapelung von CPython sowie die Testabschnitte, die GNU backtrace() verwenden. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der Test das LoongArch-Frame-Layout erkennt und die relevanten Clang-Build-Tests nicht mehr fehlschlagen; die verknüpften PRs gh-152241 und gh-152578 zeigen, dass die Arbeit bereits im Gange ist.
