For the normal bt command there are the options -past-main and -past-entry. We
could consider adding them to the new command for shadow stack bt as well.
However, for the shadow-stack it's a bit different as the stack size depends on the
enablement of shstk.

One reason for me to have the "info" is to make the command easier to find. If the 
user would type "help info" the command would be listed  (among others).
