   * Attempt to unwind the stack to the most recent C++ frame. This function is
   * signal-safe and does not access any V8 state and thus doesn't require an
   * Isolate.
   *
   * The unwinder needs to know the location of the JS Entry Stub (a piece of
   * code that is run when C++ code calls into generated JS code). This is used
   * for edge cases where the current frame is being constructed or torn down
   * when the stack sample occurs.
   *
   * The unwinder also needs the virtual memory range of all possible V8 code
   * objects. There are two ranges required - the heap code range and the range
   * for code embedded in the binary.
   *
   * Available on x64, ARM64 and ARM32.
   *
   * \param code_pages A list of all of the ranges in which V8 has allocated
   * executable code. The caller should obtain this list by calling
   * Isolate::CopyCodePages() during the same interrupt/thread suspension that
   * captures the stack.
   * \param register_state The current registers. This is an in-out param that
   * will be overwritten with the register values after unwinding, on success.
   * \param stack_base The resulting stack pointer and frame pointer values are
   * bounds-checked against the stack_base and the original stack pointer value
   * to ensure that they are valid locations in the given stack. If these values
   * or any intermediate frame pointer values used during unwinding are ever out
   * of these bounds, unwinding will fail.
   *
   * \return True on success.
