unix: Add setjmp-based GC register helper implementation.

pfalcon · pfalcon · commit 76c8a4c91bcc · 2014-06-05T04:32:17.000+03:00
As I suspected for a long time, for x86, register helper doesn't really make
any difference - there's simply not enough register to keep anything in
them for any prolonged time. Anything gets pushed on stack anyway. So, on
x86, uPy passed all tests even with empty reg helper. So, this setjmp
implementation goes as "untested".
