add a panic-strategy field to the target specification

Now a target can define its panic strategy in its specification. If a
user doesn't specify a panic strategy via the command line, i.e. '-C
panic', then the compiler will use the panic strategy defined by the
target specification.

Custom targets can pick their panic strategy via the "panic-strategy"
field of their target specification JSON file. If omitted in the
specification, the strategy defaults to "unwind".

closes #36647
