sjlj and exception handling

Of course, the clang's implementation of setjmp is very generic and uses quite an abstraction of program state, which makes it hardly suitable for the ad-hoc local exception support I'm using. Since my requirements for setjmp were quite simple (just give me back my damn registers and stack frame), I went and implemented a very custom-tailored versions __sjljeh_setjmp and __sjljeh_longjmp which do just what I need.

With that stuff out of the way, my entire boot sequence now works and I can finally fiddle with more interesting stuff. Type system and introspection, here we go.
