Fix test_c_stack_unwind on Linux LoongArch builds.

This change teaches _testinternalcapi's manual frame-pointer unwinder about
the LoongArch frame layout. On LoongArch, the frame pointer is the caller's
stack pointer; the previous frame pointer is at fp[-2], and the return
address is at fp[-1].

It also adds -funwind-tables for Linux LoongArch clang builds. clang/LoongArch
emits .debug_frame but not runtime .eh_frame unwind tables by default, so
glibc backtrace() cannot unwind through CPython frames unless unwind tables
are requested.

Validated on Linux LoongArch64:

GCC build:

../cpython/configure --with-pydebug CC=gcc
make -j8
PYTHON_JIT=0 ./python -m test -v test_c_stack_unwind

clang build with clang 20.1.8:

../cpython/configure --with-pydebug CC=clang
make -j8
PYTHON_JIT=0 ./python -m test -v test_c_stack_unwind

Also verified that -funwind-tables makes CPython C objects contain
.eh_frame, and the GNU backtrace test passes.

Issue: test_c_stack_unwind fails on Linux LoongArch builds #152240

The change LGTM, even if I don't know LoongArch architecture.

The -funwind-tables compiler flag is only needed by GnuBacktraceUnwindTests of test_c_stack_unwind? If yes, is it really worth it to add .eh_frame unwind tables just for a test?

@diegorusso @pablogsal: What do you think about the -funwind-tables flag?
