Implement the "abort" stub in assembly for ARM.

So that we can always get the full stack trace regardless of gcc's handling
of the "noreturn" attribute associated with abort().

/*
* abort() does not return, which gcc interprets to mean that it doesn't
* need to preserve any of the callee-save registers. Unfortunately this
* includes the link register, so if LR is used there is no way to determine
* which function called abort().
*
* We work around this by inserting a trivial stub that doesn't alter
* any of the "interesting" registers and thus doesn't need to save them.
* We can't just call __libc_android_abort from C because gcc uses "bl"
* without first saving LR, so we use an asm statement. This also has
* the side-effect of replacing abort() with __libc_android_abort() in
* the stack trace.
*
* Ideally __libc_android_abort would be static, but I haven't figured out
* how to tell gcc to call a static function from an asm statement.
