Rollup merge of rust-lang#130339 - CAD97:unwind-choice, r=dtolnay

Add `core::panic::abort_unwind`

`abort_unwind` is like `catch_unwind` except that it aborts the process if it unwinds, using the `#[rustc_nounwind]` mechanism also used by `extern "C" fn` to abort unwinding. The docs attempt to make it clear when to (rarely) and when not to (usually) use the function.

Although usage of the function is discouraged, having it available will help to normalize the experience when abort_unwind shims are hit, as opposed to the current ecosystem where there exist multiple common patterns for converting unwinding into a process abort.

For further information and justification, see the linked ACP.
