Summary:
Initially, these intrinsics seemed like part of a family of "frame"
related intrinsics, but now I think that's more confusing than helpful.
Initially, the LangRef specified that this would create a new kind of
allocation that would be allocated at a fixed offset from the frame
pointer (EBP/RBP). We ended up dropping that design, and leaving the
stack frame layout alone.
These intrinsics are really about sharing local stack allocations, not
frame pointers. I intend to go further and add an `llvm.localaddress()`
intrinsic that returns whatever register (EBP, ESI, ESP, RBX) is being
used to address locals, which should not be confused with the frame
pointer.
Naming suggestions at this point are welcome, I'm happy to re-run sed.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

This removes the -sehprepare flag and makes __C_specific_handler
functions always to use WinEHPrepare.
This was tested by building all of chromium_builder_tests and running a
few tests that use SEH, but if something breaks, we can revert this.

Keep the old SEH fan-in lowering on by default for now, since projects
rely on it. This will make it easy to test this change with a simple
flag flip.

This now emits simple, unoptimized xdata tables for __C_specific_handler
based on the handlers listed in @llvm.eh.actions calls produced by
WinEHPrepare.
This adds support for running __finally blocks when exceptions are
thrown, and removes the old landingpad fan-in codepath.
I ran some manual execution tests on small basic test cases with and
without optimization, as well as on Chrome base_unittests, which uses a
small amount of SEH. I'm sure there are bugs, and we may need to
revert.
