Cygwin: main exception handler (64-bit): continue GCC exceptions
This is necessary in order to be consistent with the following comment in the definition of _Unwind_RaiseException() in the GCC source file libgcc/unwind-seh.c: The exception handler installed in crt0 will continue any GCC exception that reaches there (and isn't marked non-continuable). Previously we failed to do this and, as a consequence, the C++ runtime didn't call std::terminate after an unhandled exception. This fixes the problem reported here: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2019-October/242795.html https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin/2020-August/245897.html
