testsuite: add print-stack.exp


I wrote this support file to help me debug Tcl issues in the
testsuite.

Adding a call to:

  print_stack_backtrace

somewhere in a .exp file (along with "load_lib print-stack.exp") leads
to the interpreter printing a backtrace in a form that e.g. Emacs can
consume, with filename:linenum: lines, and quoting the line of .exp
source code.

Fer example, adding a print_stack_backtrace to scansarif.exp in
run-sarif-pytest I get this output:

^^^  END OF BACKTRACE  ^^^

and can click on the lines in Emacs's compilation buffer to take
me to the relevant places.

I found this made it *much* easier to debug my .exp files.  That
said, I'm uncomfortable with Tcl, and so
(a) there may be a better way of doing this
(b) I may have made mistakes

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
