+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #543843 +++

At the moment, the Breakpad processor x86_64 stack walker is a stub: it only gives you the top stack frame.  Doing full backtraces on the x86_64 requires the DWARF CFI support in bug 464750, and some additional work to hook the CFI stuff into the x86_64 stack walker.

The SimpleCFIWalker is supposed to be something that many architectures can use to get CFI-driven stack walking going quickly; you give it a map of the relevant registers and it does the rest.

For the record: the x86_64 breakpad client (minidump writer) works, but is not enabled by default --- it being not very useful without the stack walker.  Once we have landed the stack walker, we just need to flip a switch in the build machinery.
End-to-end tests passed; submitted stack walker to Google for review.
