Core: Fix missing second frame in QUnit.stack() in Safari
Safari implements ES6 Tail-Call Optimization, which is when: - the file is in strict mode, - and, in a regular function (not async or generator), - and, the return statement ends in a simple function call. Then, the current function is removed from the stack before the child function begins. TCO applies even for calls that are not recursive. The result is that, given: > makeFakeFailure -> exampleMain -> exampleParent -> exampleCurrent -> > QUnit.stack -> sourceFromStacktrace -> new Error. In Firefox and Chrome, `e.stack` is: ``` [0] sourceFromStacktrace (SLICED) [1] QUnit.stack (SLICED) [2] exampleCurrent [3] exampleParent [4] exampleMain [5] makeFakeFailure ``` But, in Safari, the second frame gets lost because our tiny `QUnit.stack()` function is a candidate for Tail-Call Optimization. ``` [0] sourceFromStacktrace (SLICED) [1] exampleCurrent (SLICED) [2] exampleParent [3] exampleMain [4] makeFakeFailure ``` This, combined with the fact that we strip the first two frames as a way to hide internal offsets, meant that in Safari we ended up attributing failed assertions and test definitions to the parent of the caller rather than the actual caller, e.g. exampleParent() instead of exampleCurrent. Ref https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276187. Closes #1776.
