py/nlr: Use MP_UNREACHABLE at the end of arch-specific nlr_jump funcs.
Recent versions of gcc perform optimisations which can lead to the following code from the MP_NLR_JUMP_HEAD macro being omitted: top->ret_val = val; \ MP_NLR_RESTORE_PYSTACK(top); \ *_top_ptr = top->prev; \ This is noticeable (at least) in the unix coverage on x86-64 built with gcc 9.1.0. This is because the nlr_jump function is marked as no-return, so gcc deduces that the above code has no effect. Adding MP_UNREACHABLE tells the compiler that the asm code may branch elsewhere, and so it cannot optimise away the code.
