Putting DEBUG () code after an ASSERT (FALSE) statement is not very
useful, since the code will be unreachable on DEBUG builds and compiled
out on RELEASE builds. So move the ASSERT () statement after it.

This adds a partial stack dump (256 bytes at either side of the stack
pointer) to the CPU state dumping routine that is invoked when taking an
unexpected exception. Since dereferencing the stack pointer may itself
fault, ensure that we don't enter the dumping routine recursively.

The default exception handler, which is essentially the one that is invoked
for unexpected exceptions, ends with an ASSERT (FALSE), to ensure that
execution halts after dumping the CPU state. However, ASSERTs are compiled
out in RELEASE builds, and since we simply return to wherever the ELR is
pointing, we will not make any progress in case of synchronous aborts, and
the same exception will be taken again immediately, resulting in the string
'Exception at 0x....' to be printed over and over again.
So use an explicit deadloop instead.

Modify the DefaultExceptionHandler (uefi-variant) so it can be used by
DxeCore (via CpuExceptionHandlerLib) where the debug info table is not
yet published at library constructor time.
