MINOR: debug: make ABORT_NOW() store the caller's line number when using abort

Placing DO_NOT_FOLD() before abort() only works in -O2 but not in -Os which
continues to place only 5 calls to abort() in h3.o for call places. The
approach taken here is to replace abort() with a new function that wraps
it and stores the line number in the stack. This slightly increases the
code size (+0.1%) but when unwinding a crash, the line number remains
present now. This is a very low cost, especially if we consider that
DEBUG_USE_ABORT is almost only used by code coverage tools and occasional
debugging sessions.
