The _exit function currently passes -1 as a "sig" to the _kill function as an
invalid signal number so that _kill can distinguish between an abort and a
standard exit.
For boards using the SYS_EXIT_EXTENDED semi-hosting operation to return a
status code, this means that the "status" paramter to _exit is ignored and the
return code is always -1.
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/semihosting-operations/sys_exit_extended-0x20
This patch puts shared code between _kill and _exit into a new function
_kill_shared that takes the semi-hosting "reason" to use (if semi-hosting is
available) as an argument.
For semi-hosting _kill_shared provides that "reason".
Without the "sig" argument being used to distinguish between a normal and
abnormal exit, the _exit function can provide the return code to be used if the
SYS_EXIT_EXTENDED operation is available.
Hence the exit code can be returned.

AngelSWI_Reason_ReportException does not return accoring to the ARM
documentation, so it is valid to mark _kill() as noreturn. This way,
the compiler does not warn about _exit() returning a value despite
being noreturn.
