[ECOS] Exception Handling

[nprasad3@gmu.edu]

What are you using for debugging? cyg_hal_default_exception_vsr will be in rom so the debugger won't be able to replace the instruction.

I put a tight loop at the start of the exception handler, break with bdm and release control from the loop and single step.
