PR tdep/17379: Fix internal-error when stack pointer is invalid.

The problem is that rs6000_frame_cache attempts to read the stack backchain via
read_memory_unsigned_integer, which throws an exception if the stack pointer is
invalid.  With this patch, it calls safe_read_memory_integer instead, which
doesn't throw an exception and allows for safe handling of that situation.
