Fix type of `__cxa_allocate_exception` with recent libsupc++.
Recent versions of GNU libsupc++ provide a definition of `__cxa_allocate_exception` that has a `noexcept` qualifier. This is sensible (if allocating an exception throws an exception, then something is badly wrong) but it not what the ABI spec says. We provide our own definition of this, which must match another if provided.
This wouldn't normally be a problem, but recent libstdc++ headers appear to leak libsupc++ headers into the namespace, so we're seeing these definitions even without explicitly including any C++ ABI-related headers.
We're now using a new class and category structure and auto-upgrading the old ones. Other changes:
- The Ivar structure now points to the ivar offset variable, so we can more easily find it.
- Categories can now add properties.
macOS ships with libc++abi, which doesn't provide the hooks required
for interop, so this was causing all of the tests to fail to link in
the Travis macOS test. We're now correctly detecting that it won't
work on macOS and disabling those tests.
Some applications still include the old objc-class.h header expecting
to obtain the declarations contained in objc/message.h and
objc/runtime.h nowadays. This commit adds this header to achieve
out-of-the-box compatibility with these applications.
On FreeBSD and OSX, the block runtime functions are defined on a Block.h
and a Block_private.h headers on the include path as opposed to
libobjc2's objc/blocks_runtime.h and objc/blocks_private.h respectively.
This commit amends libobjc2's install routine to create the
FreeBSD-style headers as symlinks to the ones provided by libobjc2 for
improved compatibility.
Some applications still include the old objc-runtime.h header expecting
to obtain the declarations contained in objc/message.h and
objc/runtime.h nowadays. This commit adds this header to achieve

Apparently, setting -lpthread is not enough to convince gcc to actually
link a thread library, so if we are using pthreads, set the -pthread
flag as well. It fixes the gcc situation and doesn't have any adverse
effects for clang either.
