bug: Make BUG() always stop the machine

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an
infinite loop rather than a no-op.  This avoids undefined behavior if
execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code
after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not
returning).
