Change our resolution for the previously unused CpuExceptionHandlerLib
from the null implementation to the newly added implementation specific
to AARCH64 and ARM. This is needed since our CpuDxe will start using it
in a subsequent patch.

Can you pls summarize in a few words what the exception handlers will
do? For example, in OVMF's case, a register dump is written to the
serial port, and the image and the exception address into it are named too.

Thanks
Laszlo

I mean: it's enough to educate me on the list; this wasn't a suggestion
to update the commit message.

Thanks

This is just the plumbing to register and unregister exception
handlers. If an exception occurs for which no handler has been
registered, the DefaultExceptionHandler() implementation supplied by
DefaultExceptionHandlerLib is invoked. This aligns with how CpuDxe is
implemented currently, but moves it to a separate library.
