Summary0002213: Expose __EXCEPTION virtual variable for current EG(exception)
Description

In some cases it is useful to have access to the last thrown exception. Add a feature flag (virtual_exception_value) that, when an exception is active, adds the current exception object value as separate entry in the return variables in the top stack frame online. The name of this pseudo variable will be $__EXCEPTION.

Steps To Reproduce
<?php

throw new \Exception("TEST");
breakpoint_set -t exception -x *
run
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="https://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug" command="run" transaction_id="2" status="break" reason="ok"><xdebug:message filename="file:///C:/local_disk/zobo/Projects/vscode-php-debug/TEST/ex.php" lineno="5" exception="Exception"><![CDATA[TEST]]></xdebug:message></response>
TagsNo tags attached.
