Previous behavior here was to segfault! An exception is much more user-friendly. Add the SWIG machinery for catching thrown exceptions in the SML binding libraries, too. We wrap every SML function with a try/catch. I don't know if this is actually heavy or not, but at least one implementation out there thought it was and went an alternative route where each method has to be explicitly marked to catch exceptions: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/blob/47e4ebb32a1366d60649879381eac819f7c7131d/common/swig/ki_exception.i#L41 Add tests for TCL, Python and Java that demonstrate the exceptions being translated for each host language. We don't have C# tests yet T_T. Notice we did have to add the `atexit` handler back to prevent a segfault when the exception is not caught correctly; I don't know exactly why. Filed #464. Fixes #451.

We should still maybe append the exception type / value / string to give at least some information to the developer, imo.
