Improve backtrace formating while panicking.
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` prints all the informations (old behaviour)
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=(0|no)` disables the backtrace.
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=<everything else>` (including `1`) shows a simplified
  backtrace, without the function addresses and with cleaned filenames
  and symbols. Also removes some unneded frames at the beginning and the
  end.

Fixes #37783.

PR is #38165.
