ArmDisassemblerLib is used to pretty print the instruction that
triggered an unhandled exception, but it was never implemented for
AARCH64, and according to the existing file comment, Thumb2 support
(which is used predominantly when building EDK2 for 32-bit ARM due to
its smaller size) is incomplete.
The DEBUG diagnostics that are produced on an unhandled exception are
generally sufficient to dump the entire executable that triggered it,
and so this disassembly is of limited value, especially because it
doesn't work on AARCH64.
So let's start getting rid of it, by dropping references to it in code
and in the various .INF and .DSC files. Once out-of-tree platforms have
been allowed to catch up, we can remove the library implementation and
its class definition entirely.

As per the emailed RFC in
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/rfc_move/107675828,
this patch moves CompilerIntrinsicsLib from ArmPkg to
MdePkg as this library provides compiler intrinsics, which
are industry standard.
This aligns with the goal of integrating ArmPkg into existing
packages: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4121.
The newly placed CompilerIntrinsicsLib is added to MdeLibs.dsc.inc
as every DSC that builds ARM/AARCH64 needs this library added. The
old location is removed from every DSC in edk2 in this commit also
to not break bisectability with minimal hoop jumping.

Even though RELEASE builds produce some diagnostics when a crash
occurs, they can be rather unhelpful:
Synchronous Exception at 0x0000000000000000
and sometimes, it would be useful to get a full register dump from
a production machine without having to modify the firmware.
This can be achieved very easily by incorporating a DEBUG build of
ARM's DefaultExceptionHandlerLib into a DXE driver, and registering
its DefaultExceptionHandler entry point as the synchronous exception
handler, overriding the default one. If we then build this driver
using the UefiDebugLibConOut DebugLib implementation, we end up
with a module than can simply be loaded via the Shell on any system.
Shell> load fs0:ArmCrashDumpDxe.efi
As a bonus, the crash dump will also appear on the graphical display,
not only on the serial port.
