semihosting: Check for errors on SET_ARG()

The SET_ARG() macro returns an error indication; we check this in the
TARGET_SYS_GET_CMDLINE case but not when we use it in implementing
TARGET_SYS_ELAPSED.  Check for and handle the errors via the do_fault
codepath, and update the comment documenting the SET_ARG() and
GET_ARG() macros to note how they handle memory access errors.
