Enhance _dl_catch_exception to allow disabling exception handling
In some cases, it is necessary to introduce noexcept regions where raised dynamic loader exceptions (e.g., from lazy binding) are fatal, despite being nested in a code region with an active exception handler. This change enhances _dl_catch_exception with to provide such a capability. The existing function is reused, so that it is not necessary to introduce yet another function with a similar purpose.
