This patch enhances the armv7 exception handlers in Coreboot and
libpayload to show the correct SP and LR registers from the aborted
context, and also dump a part of the current stack. Since we cannot
access the banked registers of SVC mode from a different exception mode,
it changes Coreboot (and its payloads) to run in System mode instead. As
both modes can execute all privileged instructions, this should not have
any noticeable effect on firmware operation (please correct me if I'm
wrong!).

Currently, the exception handling code on ARM in libpayload turns on alignment
checks as an easy way to generate an exception for testing purposes. It was
leaving it on which disabled unaligned accesses for other, unlreated code
running later. This change adjusts the code so the original value of the
alignment bit is restored after the test exception.
Built and booted into depthcharge on pit with an unaligned accesses added
after the call to exception_init in the depthcharge's main. Before this
change, the access caused an exception. After this change, the access
completed successfully.

'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
I didn't realize we don't enable 14 year old features when building
libpayload, and I must have accidentally not rebuilt everything when making my
final tweaks to my earlier change.

Give some indication what happened instead of just crashing.
As part of setup, cause an exception and make sure that we get
the right one, and that we recover correctly. Hence we have
some assurance that if they really happen we can handle them.
Built and booted into test payload on Snow. Saw the built in test function
worked correctly. Artificially added code which got an exception and saw that
the error information prints correctly.
