ArmDisassemblerLib is used to pretty print the instruction that
triggered an unhandled exception, but it was never implemented for
AARCH64, and according to the existing file comment, Thumb2 support
(which is used predominantly when building EDK2 for 32-bit ARM due to
its smaller size) is incomplete.
The DEBUG diagnostics that are produced on an unhandled exception are
generally sufficient to dump the entire executable that triggered it,
and so this disassembly is of limited value, especially because it
doesn't work on AARCH64.
So let's start getting rid of it, by dropping references to it in code
and in the various .INF and .DSC files. Once out-of-tree platforms have
been allowed to catch up, we can remove the library implementation and
its class definition entirely.

Print the minimal 'exception occurred' message to the console as well
as to the serial port if the console is available. This makes such
messages visible on systems where the console is graphical and the
serial is not connected.

Declare that this library is only usable in the context of DXE core
or a DXE driver. Set the MODULE_TYPE to BASE: this only affects the
prototype of the constructor (if present) but doesn't actually
restrict the usage context otherwise.

Modify the DefaultExceptionHandler (uefi-variant) so it can be used by
DxeCore (via CpuExceptionHandlerLib) where the debug info table is not
yet published at library constructor time.
