Add -fcompact-unwind
This gives users the choice to enable __compact_unwind sections
when linking. These were previously hardcoded to be removed.
This can be used to solved the problem "C++ does not catch
exceptions when used with Haskell-main and linked by ghc",
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/11829
It does not change the default behavior, because I can not
estimate the impact this would have.
When Apple first introduced the compact unwind ABI, a number of
open source projects have taken the easy route of disabling it,
avoiding errors or even just warnings shortly after its
introduction.
Since then, about a decade has passed, so it seems quite possible
that Apple itself, and presumably many programs with it, have
successfully switched to the new format, to the point where the
old __eh_frame section support is in disrepair. Perhaps we should
get along with the program, but for now we can test the waters
with this flag, and use it to fix packages that need it.
