Add exception handlers for debug #488

Description

Add handlers for ARM exceptions that replace the default (and empty ones) from ChibiOS.

Motivation and Context

This aims to be a handy and helpful debugger tool.
Current handlers do not expose any details about the fault/exception that has occurred.
The debugger is not able to backtrack through exceptions because those are executed on a separate stack.
These handlers expose the NVIC registers and context in local vars allowing easy inspection of those.

How Has This Been Tested?

Causing a hard fault exception and verifying that the handler hits the break point there.
