[lldb][debugserver][MacOSX] Work around sanitizer misaligned address errors when reading exception data (#132193)
We've been dealing with UBSAN issues around this code for some time now
(see `9c36859b33b386fbfa9599646de1e2ae01158180` and
`1a2122e9e9d1d495fdf337a4a9445b61ca56df6f`). On recent macOS versions, a
UBSAN-enabled debugserver will crash when performing a `memcpy` of the
input `mach_exception_data_t`. The pointer to the beginning of the
exception data may not be aligned on a doubleword boundary, leading to
UBSAN failures such as:
```
$ ./bin/debugserver 0.0.0.0:5555 /Volumes/SSD/llvm-builds/llvm-worktrees/clang-work/build-sanitized-release/tools/lldb/test/Shell/Recognizer/Output/verbose_trap.test.tmp.out
/Volumes/SSD/llvm-builds/llvm-worktrees/clang-work/lldb/tools/debugserver/source/MacOSX/MachException.cpp:35:12: runtime error: store to misaligned address 0x00016ddfa634 for type 'mach_exception_data_type_t *' (aka 'long long *'), which requires 8 byte alignment
0x00016ddfa634: note: pointer points here

SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior /Volumes/SSD/llvm-builds/llvm-worktrees/clang-work/lldb/tools/debugserver/source/MacOSX/MachException.cpp:35:12
```
Work around these failures by pretending the input data is a `char*`
buffer.
Drive-by changes:
* I factored out some duplicated code into a static
`AppendExceptionData` and made the types consistent

Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
