The core::intrinsics::unreachable() we used at the end of every naked
function is essentially pointless, as #[naked] implies that intrinsic
at the end of the function. rustc currently does not implement that
behavior (rust-lang/rust#32487), but it is a bug. On top of that,
anything except a single asm!() in naked functions is likely to be
disallowed in the future (rust-lang/rust#32490).
A nice side effect is that we avoid the core_intrinsics feature,
which will be never stabilized, though neither asm nor
naked_functions are likely to be stabilized soon.
The new design concerns itself with one thing and exactly one thing:
passing values back and forth with an extern "C" function.
This allows to simplify fringe::arch into a single primitive, swap.
