Improve setjmp()/longjmp() performance.
Exception handling for the C backend used setjmp()/longjmp() unconditionally. However, on POSIX systems, these functions save and restore the signal mask, adding considerable overhead to exception handling, even where no exceptions are involved. The compiler and library now try to use either _setjmp()/_longjmp() or sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp() where possible, marked by the defines "nimRawSetjmp" and "nimSigSetjmp", respectively. The define "nimStdSetjmp" can be used to revert to setjmp()/longjmp() instead.
