armv7m: Escalate exceptions to HardFault if necessary

The v7M exception architecture requires that if a synchronous
exception cannot be taken immediately (because it is disabled
or at too low a priority) then it should be escalated to
HardFault (and the HardFault exception is then taken).
Implement this escalation logic.
