Do not emit stack traces for messages generated by SUCCEED()

Stack traces in assertion failures are an extremely useful tool for
developers tasked with investigating failing tests. It's difficult to
understate this. In contrast to ordinary test assertions (e.g.,
ASSERT_TRUE or EXPECT_FALSE), SUCCEED() is a developer-authored
directive that indicates a success codepath. In fact, the documentation
states that this directive doesn't generate any output. Generating stack
traces for uses of SUCCEED() is wasted work since they are never
printed. If this were to change one day in the future, they still would
not be useful since any emitted message would include the file and line
number where SUCCEED was used. In addition to being noise in the output
in this case, symbolization of stack traces is not free. In some
Chromium configurations, symbolization for use of SUCCEED() can incur a
cost in excess of 25 seconds for a test that otherwise takes 0-1ms; see
https://crbug.com/1517343.

In this CL, we suppress generation and emission of stack traces for
kSuccess messages to reduce the overhead of SUCCEED().
