Some architectures cannot always report accurately what kind of
floating-point exception triggered a floating-point exception trap.

This can occur with fp exceptions occuring on lanes in a vector
instruction on arm64 for example.

Rather than have every architecture come up with its own way of
descrbing such a condition, this patch adds a common FPE_FLTUNK do
report that an fp exception caused a trap but we cannot be certain
which kind of fp exception it was.
