[phobos] Calling abort() on unhandled exception

[Sean Kelly]

Huh, so the ObjC behavior is to print the exception and abort() too.  Looks like good justification for doing it in D as well then.

I'm inclined to think that this isn't acceptable and that I should just try and sort out the weirdness that results from throwing an object outside of main(), but I thought I'd ask here for suggestions.  As an alternative I could call asm HLT, but this may bypass too much C-level runtime stuff.  Thoughts?
