add custom easyconfig parameter with_cxx_backtrace to GCC easyblock to enable the build of the libstdcxx-backtrace library

[maxim-masterov]

Add an option to build a static library for the stack trace support in C++23.

[Thyre]

With the current approach, having with_cxx_backtrace=False by default, we should probably also disable support via a flag for GCC versions supporting backtrace.

We could go the route and define with_cxx_backtrace as None by default, passing no flag and just use what GCC has by default. Users could then pass True to explicitly enable support, and False to explicitly disable support.
