Even if you never have C++ exceptions or Rust panics, you can still have SEH exceptions and those use the same unwinding mechanism and thus require unwinding tables. |

This commit alters the translation layer to unconditionally emit the `uwtable` LLVM attribute on Windows regardless of the `no_landing_pads` setting. Previously I believe we omitted this attribute as an optimization when the `-Cpanic=abort` flag was passed, but this unfortunately caused problems for Gecko. It [was discovered] that there was trouble unwinding through Rust functions due to foreign exceptions such as illegal instructions or otherwise in-practice methods used to abort a process. In testing it looked like the major difference between a working binary and a non-working binary is indeed this `uwtable` attribute, but this PR has unfortunately not been thoroughly tested in terms of compiling Gecko with `-C panic=abort` *and* this PR to see whether it works, so this is still somewhat working on just suspicion. [was discovered]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302078

Long ago (rust-lang#40549) we enabled the `uwtable` attribute on Windows by default (even with `-C panic=abort`) to allow unwinding binaries for [stack unwinding information][winstack]. It looks like this same issue is [plaguing][arm1] Gecko's Android platforms [as well][arm2]. This commit applies the same fix as rust-lang#40549 except that this time it's applied for all Android targets. Generating a `-C panic=abort` binary for `armv7-linux-androideabi` before this commit generated a number of `cantunwind` functions (detected with `readelf -u`) but after this commit they all list appropriate unwind information. Closesrust-lang#49867 [winstack]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302078 [arm1]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1453220 [arm2]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1451741

It was discovered that there was trouble unwinding through Rust functions due
to foreign exceptions such as illegal instructions or otherwise in-practice
methods used to abort a process. In testing it looked like the major difference
between a working binary and a non-working binary is indeed this
uwtableattribute, but this PR has unfortunately not been thoroughly tested in terms of
