libpayload: gdb: Factor out gdb_handle_reentrant_exception() from arm32

The arm32 GDB architecture code contains a little hack that allows it to
(sort of) correctly deal with a reentrant exception triggered from
within the GDB stub. The main logic for this isn't really arm32 specific
and could be useful for other architectures as well, so factor it out
into a separate function.

* all the intermediate exception frames we may have accumulated since. (This is
* the best we can do because our architecture backends generally don't support
* "full", unlimited exception reentrancy.)
