sel4runtime should provide default exit handlers instead of raising a cap fault. #10

It is less confusing if the exit handler printed out an error message before cap faulting, or provided an alternative default implementation that suspends the current thread if an initial_thread_tcb is saved in the current runtime environment before triggering a fault. The current implementation:

    /* If the exit is never set this will try and call a NULL function
     * pointer which should result in a fault. This is as good a way as
     * any to exit the process if we don't know anything better about
     * the environment. */
    env.exit_cb(code);

Will raise this fault:

 Caught cap fault in send phase at address 0
