Trap handling functionality

For rCore, we have a single trap entry point, namely __alltraps. At initialization in init(), we set the stvec CSR to point to it.

All traps go through __alltraps, which is defined in trap.S. The assembly language code does just enough work restore the kernel space context, ensuring that Rust code safely runs, and transfers control to trap_handler().

It then calls different functionality based on what exactly the exception was. For example, timer interrupts trigger task preemption, and syscalls go to syscall().
