arm: Implement M profile exception return properly
On M profile, return from exceptions happen when code in Handler mode
executes one of the following function call return instructions:
* POP or LDM which loads the PC
* LDR to PC
* BX register
and the new PC value is 0xFFxxxxxx.

QEMU tries to implement this by not treating the instruction
specially but then catching the attempt to execute from the magic
address value. This is not ideal, because:
* there are guest visible differences from the architecturally
specified behaviour (for instance jumping to 0xFFxxxxxx via a
different instruction should not cause an exception return but it
will in the QEMU implementation)
* we have to account for it in various places (like refusing to take
an interrupt if the PC is at a magic value, and making sure that
the MPU doesn't deny execution at the magic value addresses)

Drop these hacks, and instead implement exception return the way the
architecture specifies -- by having the relevant instructions check
for the magic value and raise the 'do an exception return' QEMU
internal exception immediately.

The effect on the generated code is minor:

which is a difference of one cmp/branch-not-taken. This will
be lost in the noise of having to exit generated code and
look up the next TB anyway.
