Switch over to the new Gimli-based backtrace symbolicator. Gimli is a pure-Rust reimplementation of libbacktrace that will soon be the default backtrace implementation in the Rust standard library [0]. Switching to it now means we can help shake out problems, like [1], before it ships in the standard library, where fixing problems will require a full six week release cycle. This switch has the side effect of fixing backtraces on macOS, which seem to be broken at the moment because the backtrace crate is picking libbacktrace over coresymbolication. There isn't a good way of fixing that because Cargo doesn't support per-platform features [2]; using neither libbacktrace or coresymbolicator is a kind of stupid but effective way of sidestepping the problem.
