Improve ert backtrace recording
Change ert to use the new `backtrace-frames' function instead of collecting frames one by one with `backtrace-frame'. Additionally, collect frames starting from `signal' instead the somewhat arbitrary "6 from the bottom". Skipping 6 frames would skip the expression that actually caused the signal that triggered the debugger. Possibly 6 was chosen because in the case of a failed test, the triggering frame is an `ert-fail' call, which is not so interesting. But in case of a test throwing an error, this drops the `error' call which is too much. * lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.el (debugger-make-xrefs): Remove. * lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert--make-xrefs-region): Bring in relevant code from `debugger-make-xrefs'. (ert--print-backtrace): Add DO-XREFS parameter, delegate to `debugger-insert-backtrace'. (ert--run-test-debugger): Record the backtrace frames starting from the instigating `signal' call. (ert-run-tests-batch): Pass nil for `ert--print-backtrace's new DO-XREFS parameter. (ert-results-pop-to-backtrace-for-test-at-point): Pass t as DO-XREFS to `ert--print-backtrace' and remove call to `debugger-make-xrefs'. * test/lisp/emacs-lisp/ert-tests.el (ert-test-record-backtrace): Check the backtrace list instead of comparing its string representation. Expect `signal' to be the first frame.
