Issue #12605: Show information on more C frames within gdb backtraces
The gdb hooks for debugging CPython (within Tools/gdb) have been enhanced to show information on more C frames relevant to CPython within the "py-bt" and "py-bt-full" commands: * C frames that are waiting on the GIL * C frames that are garbage-collecting * C frames that are due to the invocation of a PyCFunction
