The rs6000 port has allocated a stack frame when debugging is enabled
on AIX since the earliest versions of the port.  Apparently the
earliest versions of the debuggers for AIX had difficulty with
stackless frames.

Both AIX DBX and GDB support stackless frames on AIX, and IBM XLC,
OpenXL and LLVM for AIX do not generate an extraneous stack frame when
debugging is enabled.  This patch updates the rs6000 stack info
function to not set the.stack frame flag when debugging is enabled for
AIX.

Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.5.0

Committed.

Thanks, David
