[docs] UBSan: Mention that print_stacktrace=1 is unsupported on Darwin

Printing out stack traces along with UBSan diagnostics is unsupported on
Darwin. That's because it isn't possible to use the fast unwinder or the
slow unwinder.

Apparently, it's inappropriate to use the fast unwinder for UBSan
issues. I'm not exactly sure why (see the comment in ubsan_diag.cc).
Forcing use of the fast unwinder produces decent results, AFAICT.

Darwin also does not appear to have a slow unwinder suitable for use
with the sanitizers. Apparently that's because of PR20800 [1][2]. But
that bug has been fixed. I'm not sure if there is anything preventing
use of the slow unwinder now.

Currently, passing UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1 does nothing on
Darwin. This isn't good, but it might be a while before we can fix the
situation, so we should at least document it.

"We can't use the slow unwinder on OSX now, because Clang produces
incorrect unwind info for the ASan runtime functions on OSX
(http://llvm.org/PR20800)."
