Use libc::abort, not intrinsics::abort, in rtabort!
intrinsics::abort compiles down to an illegal instruction, which on
Unix-like platforms causes the process to be killed with SIGILL. A more
appropriate way to kill the process would be SIGABRT; this indicates
better that the runtime has explicitly aborted, rather than some kind of
compiler bug or architecture mismatch that SIGILL might indicate.
For rtassert!, replace this with libc::abort. libc::abort raises
SIGABRT, but is defined to do so in such a way that it will terminate
the process even if SIGABRT is currently masked or caught by a signal
handler that returns.
On non-Unix platforms, retain the existing behavior. On Windows we
prefer to avoid depending on the C runtime, and we need a fallback for
any other platforms that may be defined. An alternative on Windows
would be to call TerminateProcess, but this seems less essential than
switching to using SIGABRT on Unix-like platforms, where it is common
for the process-killing signal to be printed out or logged.
This is a [breaking-change] for any code that depends on the exact
signal raised to abort a process via rtabort!
