Use inlined frames in Massif XTree output

DHAT can show inlined frames, but Massif currently can't. The attached patch fixes this. I have tested that it works on the Rust compiler, which was my motivating example: see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/52028#issuecomment-402409368, especially the part "Massif doesn't get great stack traces due to inlining, but DHAT does a better job by using debuginfo."

Thanks for the patch, which after a quick reading looks ok to me.
I will take a more in depth look at it.
(wondering if it would not be interesting to also do that
for the xtree kcachegrind output format, and also the
output as produced by callgrind).

Any reason not to land this? I think it's ready. It's a simple change and a clear improvement.

Sorry, I intended to take a look at it, but had no time.
I will take a look this week-end, and so patch should be pushed very soon now.
