panic_immediate_abort requires abort as a panic strategy

Guide `panic_immediate_abort` users away from `-Cpanic=unwind` and
towards `-Cpanic=abort` to avoid an accidental use of the feature with
the unwind strategy, e.g., on a targets where unwind is the default.

The `-Cpanic=unwind` combination doesn't offer the same benefits, since
the code would still be generated under the assumption that functions
implemented in Rust can unwind.
