Reimplement the .seh_scope directive

The .seh_scope directive was removed a little over a decade ago due to
being too Microsoft specific. This has proven to be a mistake as there is
now no easy way for reusable inline assembly to express Structured
Exception Handling scopes for Microsoft Windows targets. This patch
reimplements a simpler version of .seh_scope, with the proper semantics in
place
