Libunwind is used to provide better crash reporting (and is also very helpful in debug builds).

It can be disabled using the `--disable-stackdump` or `-DENABLE_STACKDUMP=OFF` configure option.

The default state of this option is now `AUTO`, which checks for the presence of the libunwind library and automatically enables the stackdump feature if it is available.
