AngelSWI_Reason_ReportException does not return accoring to the ARM
documentation, so it is valid to mark _kill() as noreturn. This way,
the compiler does not warn about _exit() returning a value despite
being noreturn.

* libgloss/arm/_exit.c (_exit): Declare _kill() as noreturn.
* libgloss/arm/_exit.c (_kill): Likewise. Remove the return
statements.
* newlib/libc/sys/arm/syscalls.c (_kill): Likewise..
The current SYS_EXIT has a bug that when making the call it always uses
the v2 calling convention. This is undefined behavior according to the
semihosting specification:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/semihosting-operations/sys_exit-0x18
This patch fixes it by making sure v1 passes the argument directly in the register instead
of in a block. And for v2 it does the same if the v2 extension isn't supported.

Semihosting v2 changes are documented here:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/
The biggest change is the addition of an extensions mechanism
to add more extensions in the future.
