tools compiler.h: Add attribute to disable tail calls

Tail call optimizations can remove stack frames that are used in
unwinding tests. Add an attribute that can be used to disable the tail
call optimization. Tested  on clang and GCC.

Committer notes:

Old versions of clang don't like that __attribute__((optimize)), so add
an ifdef to make it go away.
