Subject: [PATCH] libcxxabi: declare __gnu_unwind_frame in cxa_personality

ARM EHABI builds of libcxxabi fail with clang-22+ because
cxa_personality.cpp calls __gnu_unwind_frame without a visible
declaration, triggering:

  error: use of undeclared identifier '__gnu_unwind_frame'

Add an extern "C" forward declaration before the EHABI unwind helper
so the source compiles correctly.
