[libc++abi][AIX] Use reserved slot in stack to pass the address of exception object

Summary:
The existing implementation of the personality for legacy IBM xlclang++ compiler generated code passes the address of exception object in r14 for the landing pad to retrieve with a call to __xlc_exception_handle(). This clobbers the content of r14 in user code (and potentially, when running cleanup actions, the address of another exception object being passed). This patch changes to use the stack slot reserved for compilers to pass the address. It has been confirmed that xlclang++-generated code does not use this slot.

This is a follow-on of the origibal patch below with a change in comments.
