runtime: hide <autogenerated> methods from call stack

The compiler generates wrapper methods to forward interface method
calls (which are always pointer-based) to value methods. These
wrappers appear in the call stack even though they are an
implementation detail. This leaves ugly "<autogenerated>" functions in
stack traces and can throw off skip counts for stack traces.

Fix this by considering these runtime frames in printed stack traces
so they will only be printed if runtime frames are being printed, and
by eliding them from the call stack expansion used by CallersFrames
and Caller.

This removes the test for issue 4388 since that was checking that
"<autogenerated>" appeared in the stack trace instead of something
even weirder. We replace it with various runtime package tests.

Fixes #16723.
