Use RAII to set the per-thread SIGSEGV handler

This avoids using a thread-local extern variable, which causes link errors
on some platforms, notably Cygwin.  But I think this is a better pattern
even outside of working around linker bugs because it encapsulates direct
access to the variable inside the class, instead of having a global extern
variable.

The cygwin link error is:
cp-support.o: in function `gdb_demangle(char const*, int)':
