backtrace:  Refactor ast_bt_get_symbols so it doesn't crash

We've been seeing crashes in libbfd when we attempt to generate
a stack trace from multiple threads.  It turns out that libbfd
is NOT thread-safe.  It can cache the bfd structure and give it to
multiple threads without protecting itself.  To get around this,
we've added a global mutex around the bfd functions and also have
refactored the use of those functions to be more efficient and
to provide more information about inlined functions.

Also added a few more tests to test_pbx.c.  One just calls
ast_assert() and the other calls ast_log_backtrace().  Neither are
run by default.

WARNING:  This change necessitated changing the return value of
ast_bt_get_symbols() from an array of strings to a VECTOR of
strings.  However, the use of this function outside Asterisk is not
likely.

ASTERISK-28140
