This patch avoids an unnecessary exception propagation in the compiler when
handling the "delay" construct. This should avoid the crashes/hangs observed
in PR 80590 on g-exptty.adb among others.

Note that the proper fix for this PR is to do a full bootstrap of GCC, since
the issue is that GNAT switched from SJLJ to ZCX exception handling from
GCC 7 to GCC 8, causing these inconsistencies that can only be resolved via
a full bootstrap, or by using the newly built compiler to build new compilers.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Verified manually that no exception propagation occurs in gnat1 with this
patch when compiling g-exptty.adb, g-locfil.adb, s-gloloc.adb and g-socthi.adb.

Tom, if you could confirm that you are unblocked and can move forward on
reenabling Ada on your builds, that'd be great, let me know.

Committed on branches 8, 9 and trunk.
