When we jump back to a save point in UCI_THROW() with longjmp all the
registers will be reset to the old values when we called UCI_TRAP_SAVE()
last time, but the memory is not restored. This will revert all the
variables which are stored in registers, but not the variables stored on
the stack.

Mark all the variables which the compiler could put into a register as
volatile to store them safely on the stack and make sure they have the
defined current values also after longjmp was called.

This also activates a compiler warning which should warn us in such
cases.
This could fix some potential problem in error paths like the one
reported in CVE-2019-15513.
