Describe the contribution
Implements exception capture and storage within the PSP.
Provides a new API so that CFE can poll for exceptions at a later time and also record the information in the ER log.

Testing performed
Add a divide by zero "bug" to sample_app
Confirm that the PSP captures the exception context correctly and it is later logged by CFE
Confirm SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM are appropriately handled on POSIX

Expected behavior changes
Exception handling is now implemented on POSIX. The initial config will capture arithmetic errors (SIGFPE) as well as SIGINT and SIGTERM. The latter is notable in that there is no longer a separate handler for SIGINT - it is now treated as an exception and goes through the normal process which ends up "restarting" CFE, which on pc-linux causes the process to exit normally.

Importantly, as CTRL+C is frequently used during testing, this means that there is now a mechanism through which the exception code will get used during normal test cycles. Otherwise the code is very infrequently used and could suffer from bit-rot.

System(s) tested on
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
VxWorks 6.9 on MCP750
i686-rtems4.11 (pc-rtems) on QEMU (no exception handling here, just tested to ensure nothing broke)

Additional context
Goes along with nasa/cFE#411, nasa/cFE#76

Implment exceptions for VxWorks and PC-Linux PSP

Exceptions are buffered in an extra block inside the PSP reserved area.

On pc-linux, the interrupt (CTRL+C) handling is also treated as
an exception, which shuts down the CFE normally.  This also means
processor resets on the pc-linux can be tested.

Did you look into the routines Doyle suggested?

Nice improvement, and having the linux exception handling helps as well.
When I finally merge RTEMS 5.x changes in, I would like to implement the exception code for RTEMS and also explore concepts of saving the exception storage on boot, but that can be a separate effort.
