This adds a new fail_fast runtime error policy to go with our existing terminate and unwind policies.
As the name suggests, fail_fast is intended to tear down the process in the fastest way possible should a runtime error occur. It uses
__builtin_trap()
on GCC and Clang, the__fastfail()
intrinsic on MSVC, and otherwise falls back tostd::abort()
. Unlike the terminate policy, it never attempts to print a message to stderr.
