This new function replaces the previous use of `Handle_FLT_Exception` as uncaught exception handler. x86 also supports exception chaining through a previous exception handler stored in `prev_uef_handler`. But, on 64 bit windows this field is never set, so we don't need to try to execute the fallback handler on 64 bit. Hence, it seemed clearer to factor out that bit to a separate function. Both the x86 and 64 bit impls call the `handle_FLT_exception` function.
