ART: Move exception clearing into own instruction
Runtime delivers exceptions only to catch blocks which begin with a
MOVE_EXCEPTION instruction (in DEX). In that case, the catch block is
expected to clear the thread-local exception storage after having
read the exception reference.
This patch changes Optimizing to represent MOVE_EXCEPTION with two
instructions - HLoadException and HClearException - instead of one.
If the exception reference is not used, HLoadException can be safely
removed, saving a memory load without breaking the runtime behaviour.
