The backtrace() function and execinfo.h are GNU extensions available
in glibc but not in non-glibc C libraries such as musl. Building KVM
selftests with musl-gcc fails with:

  lib/assert.c:9:10: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory

Fix this by guarding the inclusion of execinfo.h and the stack dumping
logic under #ifdef __GLIBC__. For non-glibc builds, provide a local
stub for test_dump_stack().

Changes in v2:
- Replaced the __weak stub approach with a single #ifdef __GLIBC__
  and a local stub inside assert.c as suggested by Sean Christopherson.

Applied to kvm-x86 fixes, thanks!
