Feature #5016: Kernel#caller with negative limit should limit result to N initial frames

Calling Kernel#caller with a negative limit should limit result to N initial frames.  When using Kernel#caller you often only want the first element of the result to get the information of the immediate caller.  Generating the whole backtrace in this case is wasteful and time-consuming.  Allowing Kernel#caller to take a negative limit to only return the first -N initial stack frames would allow for this.
