Implemented exception handler.

The exception handler is capable of logging CPU registers and a stack trace using the current log implementation.

Furthermore, if borealis has been initialized, it'll also display the PC register value using a CrashFrame. Otherwise, console output is used to display the same message.

Other changes include:

* utils: made utilsPrintConsoleError non-static.
* utils: implemented a workaround to restore console output after initializing nxlink.
