Reloading of local variables after sigsetjmp is only needed for some
buggy compilers.

The code which should reload these variables causes compiler warnings
with gcc 4.7 when compiler optimizations are enabled:

cpu-exec.c:204:15: error:
 variable ‘cpu’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Werror=clobbered]
cpu-exec.c:207:15: error:
 variable ‘cc’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Werror=clobbered]
cpu-exec.c:202:28: error:
 argument ‘env’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Werror=clobbered]

Now this code is only used for compilers which need it
(and gcc 4.5.x, x > 0 which does not need it but won't give warnings).

There were bug reports for clang and gcc 4.5.0, while gcc 4.5.1
was reported to work fine without the reload code. For clang it
is not clear which versions are affected, so simply keep the status quo
for all clang compilations. This can be improved later.
