We have seen random symbol not found "__cxa_throw" error in fuschia build bots and out-of-tree users. The understanding have been that they are built without exception support, but it turned out that these platforms have LLVM_STATIC_LINK_CXX_STDLIB ON so that they link libstdc++ to llvm statically. The reason why this is problematic for clang-repl is that by default clang-repl tries to find symbols from symbol table of executable and dynamic libraries loaded by current process. It needs to load another libstdc++, but the platform that had LLVM_STATIC_LINK_CXX_STDLIB turned on is usally those with missing or obsolate shared libstdc++ in the first place -- trying to load it again would be destined to fail eventually with a risk to introuduce mixed libstdc++ versions.
A proper solution that doesn't take a workaround is statically link the same libstdc++ by clang-repl side, but this is not possible with old JIT linker runtimedyld. New just-in-time linker JITLink handles this relatively well, but it's not availalbe in majority of platforms. For now, this patch just disables the building of clang-repl when LLVM_STATIC_LINK_CXX_STDLIB is ON and removes the "__cxa_throw" check in exception unittest as well as reverting previous exception check flag patch.

Add host exception support check utility flag. This is needed to not run tests that require exception support in few buildbots that lacks related symbols for some reason.
