Demangle C++ symbols in stack traces for Linux.

My first Chromium linux build greeted me with a backtrace of mangled symbols
(FWIW, my /dev/shm permission was wrong). That made me write this patch.

BEFORE:

../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(_ZN10StackTraceC1Ev+0x20) [0x817795e]
../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(_ZN30StackTrace_OutputToStream_Test8TestBodyEv+0x18) [0x805fc98]
../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(_ZN7testing4Test3RunEv+0x7e) [0x82005ea]

AFTER:

../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(StackTrace::StackTrace()+0x20) [0x817778c]
../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(StackTrace_OutputToStream_Test::TestBody()+0x18) [0x805fc98]
../sconsbuild/Debug/base_unittests(testing::Test::Run()+0x7e) [0x8200786]

BUG=none
TEST=manually tested. also ran base_unittests
