…from queries fatal errors currently abort the compiler process without allocating the self-profile strings: query events aren't always correctly recorded, and will show up as <unknown> in the data. catching the unwinding panic allows us to finalize the self-profiling process correctly before continuing unwinding as before.

Catch unwinds from the global ctxt callback to complete queries profiling data in more cases
The driver/compiler interface provides multiple callbacks, and we sometimes catch unwinds to flush diagnostics, ensure ICEs appear, and so on even when fatal errors occur.
When these panics happen, we don't `finish` the `TyCtxt`, and there's a fixme about that. Unfortunately this is where we also allocate the self-profile strings: query events for example start as virtual and are turned into real strings by this finalization process; they are _invalid_ without this step. When fatal errors happen, the in-flight query name will be `<unknown>`, event counts will be inaccurate, etc.
This PR catches panics from another of these callbacks, where the `TyCtxt` is available, to allow for the self-profiling data to be computed before continuing the unwinding process as before. `finish` does more things, that I don't want to introduce here.
I remember seeing this discussed in GH issues in the past, but can't find any open ones now. It may also have been only mentioned while trying to profile existing slowness issues. I stumbled upon this again recently when looking into `tests/ui/try-trait/deep-try-chain-issue-153583.rs`, where the slowest query is `<unknown>`.

This PR fixes that case at least. In general, it should fix the invalid profiling records for fatal errors happening while a query is running.
