Chris Tate d5ac31f812 Raise through cached unwind plans on x86-64 Linux
scr_unwind_raise walks the stack with plans cached per return address.
The first raise through a return address finds the function's FDE
through the .eh_frame_hdr of the object that contains it, runs the CFI
up to the call, and finds the call site's landing pad in the LSDA; the
plan records the frame's CFA rule, where its callee-saved registers are
saved, and the landing pad. Later raises look the plans up, restore the
registers, and jump to the first landing pad. Plans are inserted under
a lock and read without one.

Landing pads continue the unwind with scr_unwind_resume instead of
`resume`, so the walk goes on from their frame. A frame whose CFI,
pointer encodings or personality the plans do not express, or a return
address without an FDE, leaves the unwind to libgcc's forced unwind
from the frame the walk started at, as before. Other Linux targets keep
libgcc's unwinder; their scr_unwind_resume calls _Unwind_Resume.

bench:runtime gains layered-errors, a workload whose errors are thrown
below small functions that hold references and caught per entry in a
loop, and the corpus gains unwind-landing-pad-chains, which pins landing
pads that continue the unwind, including in frames LLVM inlines into a
caller whose handler takes the exception.
