Benjamin Bouvier 5fecdfa491 Mach ports continued + support aarch64-apple unwinding (#2723)
* Switch macOS to using mach ports for trap handling

This commit moves macOS to using mach ports instead of signals for
handling traps. The motivation for this is listed in #2456, namely that
once mach ports are used in a process that means traditional UNIX signal
handlers won't get used. This means that if Wasmtime is integrated with
Breakpad, for example, then Wasmtime's trap handler never fires and
traps don't work.

The `traphandlers` module is refactored as part of this commit to split
the platform-specific bits into their own files (it was growing quite a
lot for one inline `cfg_if!`). The `unix.rs` and `windows.rs` files
remain the same as they were before with a few minor tweaks for some
refactored interfaces. The `macos.rs` file is brand new and lifts almost
its entire implementation from SpiderMonkey, adapted for Wasmtime
though.

The main gotcha with mach ports is that a separate thread is what
services the exception. Some unsafe magic allows this separate thread to
read non-`Send` and temporary state from other threads, but is hoped to
be safe in this context. The unfortunate downside is that calling wasm
on macOS now involves taking a global lock and modifying a global hash
map twice-per-call. I'm not entirely sure how to get out of this cost
for now, but hopefully for any embeddings on macOS it's not the end of
the world.

Closes #2456

* Add a sketch of arm64 apple support

* store: maintain CallThreadState mapping when switching fibers

* cranelift/aarch64: generate unwind directives to disable pointer auth

Aarch64 post ARMv8.3 has a feature called pointer authentication,
designed to fight ROP/JOP attacks: some pointers may be signed using new
instructions, adding payloads to the high (previously unused) bits of
the pointers. More on this here: https://lwn.net/Articles/718888/

Unwinders on aarch64 need to know if some pointers contained on the call
frame contain an authentication code or not, to be able to properly
authenticate them or use them directly. Since native code may have
enabled it by default (as is the case on the Mac M1), and the default is
that this configuration value is inherited, we need to explicitly
disable it, for the only kind of supported pointers (return addresses).

To do so, we set the value of a non-existing dwarf pseudo register (34)
to 0, as documented in
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aadwarf64/aadwarf64.rst#note-8.

This is done at the function granularity, in the spirit of Cranelift
compilation model. Alternatively, a single directive could be generated
in the CIE, generating less information per module.

* Make exception handling work on Mac aarch64 too

* fibers: use a breakpoint instruction after the final call in wasmtime_fiber_start
