The storage of a pointer means that the ownership and lifetime are
externally determined, which is harder to reason about. It also imposes
API constraints, requiring APIs to return references to backtraces.
This pointer storage was introduced in commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~3 (genex:
remove the need for backtraces, 2014-05-23). As backtraces are now cheap
to copy around, just do that instead.
