libunwind: fix C library dependency
The libunwind package currently dependency on glibc *or* uclibc
snapshot. However, we are going to remove the support for uclibc
snapshot, and uClibc-ng has equivalent functionality as uclibc
snapshot. Moreover, musl is also capable of building libunwind for
certain architectures.
Therefore, this commit reworks the architecture dependencies of
libunwind, to make it available on all architectures for which it is
supported, depending on the capabilities of the different C libraries,
and the implementation of libunwind on each architecture.
On some architectures, libunwind uses the C library *context()
functions, which are not provided by musl at all, and not provided by
uClibc on all architectures. But on some other architectures,
libunwind does not use the C library *context() functions, which
explains why it can be built with musl on such architectures.
