move new c abi abort behavior behind feature gate

*Background*

In rust-lang#76570, new ABI strings including `C-unwind` were introduced. Their
behavior is specified in RFC 2945 <sup>[1]</sup>.

However, it was reported in the #ffi-unwind stream of the Rust community Zulip
that this had altered the way that `extern "C"` functions behaved even when the
`c_unwind` feature gate was not active. <sup>[2]</sup>

*Overview*

This makes a small patch to `rustc_mir_build::build::should_abort_on_panic`, so
that the same behavior from before is in place when the `c_unwind` gate is not
active.

`rustc_middle::ty::layout::fn_can_unwind` is not touched, as the visible
behavior should not differ before/after rust-lang#76570. <sup>[3]</sup>
