[Omission] Chapter 13 — missing ExceptObject/ExceptAddr/AcquireExceptionObject/ReleaseExceptionObject #41

Description

@NickHodges

Section: Chapter 13, Exception Handling

Problem:
The chapter covers raise, try..except, try..finally, and exception chaining, but never documents ExceptObject/ExceptAddr (retrieving the current exception/address from anywhere in a handler) or AcquireExceptionObject/ReleaseExceptionObject (the sanctioned way to keep an exception object alive past the handler, e.g. to hand to another thread) — directly relevant to the reraise/chaining semantics this chapter otherwise covers.

Suggested fix:
Add a short subsection for these four SysUtils routines, including the ownership-transfer caveat for Acquire/Release.
