libunwind: Use APIs exposed by RTLD to unwind the trusted stack

Assembly stubs for _rtld_unw_{get,set}context are no longer needed.

Due to the significantly simplified implementation, the
LIBUNWIND_CHERI_C18N_SUPPORT option has been removed and c18n support is
now included by default for supported architectures (currently Morello
only).
