commit 62261490a36c6911c5eb61be7cddcfb1bd19ba18

Fix gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp on s390.
The test fails on s390 with:
-trace-find frame-number 0^M
&"PC not available\n"^M
^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="<unavailable>",func="??",args=[]}^M
(gdb) ^M
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: tfile: -trace-find frame-number 0
tfile knows to infer the PC from the tracepoint's address if the PC
wasn't collected (tfile_fetch_registers) but, that only works on
targets whose PC register is a raw register, and on s390, the PC
register is a pseudo register.
But even if GDB doesn't know how to infer the value of PC, saying the
current frame is level -1 is a bug:
^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="<unavailable>",func="??",args=[]}^M
^^^^^^^^^
'-1' is the level of the sentinel frame, which should never be visible.
This is caused by the s390's heuristic unwinder accepting the frame
(the fallback heuristic unwinders _always_ accept the frame), but then
the unwind->this_id method throws that "PC not available\n" error.
IOW, the s390's heuristic unwinder was never adjusted to handle
unavailable register values gracefully, which can happen with e.g., a
trimmed core file too.
This is just the minimal necessary for
<unavailable> frames, which at least gets us:
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1
#0 <unavailable> in ?? ()
That is, frame #0 instead of -1.
We could get better info out of "info frame" (this patch makes us show
"outermost"), but this change would still be necessary.
