These need to have normal linkage instead of being static inline as
many libraries expect to be able to declare these and have the linker
find them rather than needing to include the header.

Also clean up some warnings while I'm here.

Summary: Since the personality functions do the actual unwinding on ARM,
and will also stop unwinding when they encounter a handler, we invoke
_Unwind_VRS_Interpret() directly form _Unwind_Backtrace().
To simplify, the logic for decoding an EHT is moved out of
unwindOneFrame() and into its own function, decode_eht_entry(). Unlike
unwindOneFrame(), which could only handle ARM's compact personality
function entries (section 6.3) decode_eht_entry() can handle the generic
entries (section 6.2).

The new code will be behind a LIBCXXABI_ARM_EHABI define (so that platforms
that don't want it can continue using e.g. SJLJ). This commit mostly just
adds the LIBCXXABI_ARM_EHABI define.

The was working because, given __APPLE__, _LIBUNWIND_BUILD_SJLJ_APIS was set to
__arm__, but other ARM targets not using SJ/LJ will fail to compile.

__attribute__ (( unavailable )) is for Apple specific builds. Create a macro
to conditionalise the usage of the macro. This is to aid in porting the
unwinder to other platforms.

realized, it is not complete. It relies on some _Unwind_* functions to be
supplied by the OS. That means it cannot be ported to platforms that don’t
already have an unwinder.
Years ago Apple wrote its own unwinder for MacOSX and iOS. To make libcxxabi
complete, Apple has decided the source code for its unwinder can be contributed
to the open source LLVM libcxxabi project, with a dual licensed under LLVM
and MIT license.
So, I’ve spent some time cleaning up the sources to make them conform with
LLVM style and to conditionalize the sources in a way that should make it
easier to port to other platforms. The sources are in a separate "Unwind"
directory under "src" in libcxxabi.
Background:
Most architectures now use "zero cost" exceptions for C++. The zero cost means
there are no extra instructions executed if no exceptions are thrown. But if
an exception is thrown, the runtime must consult side tables and figure out how
to restore registers and "unwind" from the current stack frame to the catch
clause. That ability to modify the stack frames and cause the thread to resume
in a catch clause with all registers restored properly is the main purpose
of the unwinder.
This unwinder has two levels of API. The high level APIs are the _Unwind_*
functions which the cxa_* exception functions in libcxxabi require. The low
level APIs are the unw_* functions which are an interface defined by the the
old HP libunwind project (which shares no code with this unwinder).
