[EH] Make abort() work with EH

We used to implement `abort()` with throwing a JS exception. emscripten-core#9730
changed it to `RuntimeError`, because it is the class a trap becomes
once it hits a JS frame.

But this turned out to be not working, because Wasm EH currently does
not assume all `RuntimeError`s are from traps; it decides whether a
`RuntimeError` is from a trap or not based on a hidden field within the
object. Relevant past discussion:
WebAssembly/exception-handling#89 (comment)

So at the moment we don't have a way of throwing a trap from JS, which
is inconvenient. I think we eventually want to make JS API for this, but
for the moment, this PR resorts to a wasm function that traps. This at
least makes calling `std::terminate` work. So far calling it exhausted
the call stack and aborted.

Fixes emscripten-core#16407.
