David Chisnall 65d6b279a0 Rework C++ exception interop again.
We now, the first time we encounter a foreign exception, throw a C++
exception through a frame that has a custom personality function and
probe the layout of the __cxa_exception structure.
We then use the offsets learned from this along with the public ABI
functions for allocating the structure.

At the same time, add a test that we are correctly setting the count of
uncaught exceptions.

Fixes #146

David Chisnall 76e081dc48 Initial run-time detection of C++ EH ABI variant.
On Itanium C++ ABI platforms, there are a lot of different variations
that have subtly different structure layouts.  This commit adds a
run-time test that throws a C++ exception through a function that has
its personality function replaced with a wrapper so that we can inspect
a C++ exception in controlled conditions.

Initially, this just detects the exception type value used for C++
exceptions.
