For eh-model a more generic term for "msvc" could be "compatible". As in
it's compatible with the OS platform.

As for the feature itself, maybe "exception-model" given that we have the
matching "exception-handling".

And possibly "vtable-model" instead of "vtable-thunks". But that would
require changing the values to something more informative like: "default",
"traditional", and "thunks". By the way, what is the GCC default for this?
The GCC docs fail to mention any default.
