build: add option to disable unwind tables

The unwind tables (`.eh_frame`, `.arm.extab`) add a significant chunk of data to
the final binaries.  These should not be needed normally, particularly when
exceptions are disabled.  This enables shrinking `lldb-server` by ~18% (3 MiB)
when built with gold.
