MSYS2: Export forwarders for __cxa_begin_catch, __cxa_end_catch, …

…`__cxa_rethrow` and `__gxx_personality_seh0`

libobjc2 uses native C++ exceptions on MinGW.  The clang compiler will emit references to `__cxa_begin_catch`, `__cxa_end_catch`, `__cxa_rethrow` and `__gxx_personality_seh0` for Objective C code which uses Objective C exceptions.

These symbols are defined in the C++ runtime, not in libobjc2.  As a result, merely linking with libobjc2 is not sufficient.  Objective C code such as GNUstep must be compiled with the `LDFLAGS="-lgcc_s -lstdc++"` or `LDFLAGS="-lc++"`, depending on the environment.

This is tedious.  Additionally, specifying `-lc++` on the msys/clang64 environment causes linker errors:

```
 Linking library libgnustep-base ...
ld.lld: error: libc++.dll.a(libc++.dll): .idata$4 should not refer to special section 0
```

A [similar error has been observed for other libraries](msys2/MINGW-packages#18589)

A solution for this is to define forwarding exports for `__cxa_begin_catch`, `__cxa_end_catch`, `__cxa_rethrow` and `__gxx_personality_seh0`.  This is implemented by adding a `eh_forwards.def` file to the list of libobjc2 source files, which forwards the symbols to the actual C++ runtime.  On MSYS2, the libstdc++ and libc++ runtimes are supported, which covers all MinGW environments: https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/.

Forwarding exports are discussed here:
