Cannot opt out of backtrace feature on nigthly.

[vi]

Anyhow seems to have include two backtrace strategies: one for stable and one for nightly. The former is managed by default-off Cargo feature "backtrace", but the latter is turned on automatically on nightly regardless of Cargo feature.

This may add more code to the executable, making anyhow significantly more bloated compared to Box<dyn Error+Send+Sync> in some scenarios. I see 92 additional kilobytes in .text section according to cargo bloat, which disappear when I manually edit out all Anyhow's code sections with #[cfg(backtrace)].

I think both backtracing modes should be adjustable by Cargo features. Anyhow may check #[cfg(backtrace)] only once, e.g. to compile_error! if Cargo feature for nightly-style backtraces is enabled on non-nightly. At the very least a negative Cargo feature like prohibit_backtraces should be provided to support minified builds. If user builds with -Zbuild-std-features=panic_immediate_abort to save kilobytes then backtraces are likely not welcome as well, even if natively supported by the compiler.

Closing per #256 (review). Thanks anyway for the PR though!

Why is this issue closed as "completed" instead of as "not planned"?
