This patch reworks the arm64 exception handling to be more similar to
how it works on arm32. This includes a bunch of features like actually
saving and restoring more exception state in the exception_state
structure and supporting the same sort of partial reentrancy that is
useful for GDB. Since there's no instruction to directly load into or
store out of SP on arm64, we can't do quite the same thing where we use
that to read an exception_state_ptr variable right after exception entry
when no other register is available. But we can do something very
similar by (ab-)using the "high" stack pointer (SP_EL2) as a pointer to
the exception_state struct and providing a function to change it.

This patch makes some slight changes to the exception hook interface.
The old code provides a different handler hook for every exception
type... however, in practice all those hook functions often need to look
very similar, so this creates more boilerplate than it removes. The new
interface just allows for a single hook with the exception type passed
as an argument, and the consumer can signal whether the exception was
handled through the return value. (Right now this still only supports
one consumer, but it could easily be extended to walk through a list of
hooks if the need arises.)
Also move the excepton state from an argument to a global. This avoids a
lot of boilerplate since some consumers need to change the state from
many places, so they would have to pass the same pointer around many
times. It also removes the false suggestion that the exception state was
not global and you could have multiple copies of it (which the exception
core doesn't support for any architecture).
On the ARM side, the exception state is separated from the exception
stack for easier access. (This requires some assembly changes, and I
threw in a few comments and corrected the immediate sigils from '$' to
the official '#' while I'm there.) Since the exception state is now both
stored and loaded through an indirection pointer, this allows for some
very limited reentrance (you could point it to a different struct while
handling an exception, and while you still won't be able to return to
the outer-level exception from there, you could at least swap out the
pointer and return back to System Mode in one go).
BUG=chrome-os-partner:18390
TEST=Made sure normal exceptions still get dumped correctly on both
archs.

libpayload: align arm64 with new exception handling model
The exception handling was previously updated, however the
arm64 changes raced with hat one. Make the arm64 align with
the new model. Without these changes compilation will fail.
BUG=None
BRANCH=None
TEST=Can build libpayload for rush.
