Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [Clang][Parser] Accept contextual _except in MS
 compatibility mode

Recognize _except as an SEH handler when Microsoft compatibility is enabled, 
matching the existing _try, _finally and _leave aliases. Keep _except usable as 
an ordinary identifier outside the handler position.

Add C and C++ parser coverage for mixed spellings, malformed handlers, ordinary 
identifier uses and rejection without Microsoft compatibility.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [Clang][Parser] Simplify contextual SEH keyword checks

Inline the single-use __except lookup into isTokenSEHExcept, use Ident_except 
for the single-underscore spelling, and fix formatting in the C++ try-handler 
parsing path.

 - Fixed ``setjmp`` on 32-bit Arm passing the frame pointer, rather than the
   stack pointer as it was on entry to the function, as the frame value the CRT
   stores in the ``jmp_buf``. Clang now uses ``llvm.sponentry`` there, as it
