Joshua Harlow eba46f3a8e Provide a common exception caused by base class
Both taskflow and tooz (and others of `raise_with_cause`
should be able to use this as there base exception class
to ensure that there usage of `raise_with_cause` works
as expected).

This adds the class that taskflow was/is using that provides
a 'good enough' version exception chaining (and a decently useful
`pformat` and `__str__` overrides that approximates the exception
chaining message on py2.x).

When used correctly this produces the following:

http://paste.openstack.org/show/326021/

Which is a 'good enough' approximation of exception chaining
on py2.x (and just uses the native exception chaining on py3.x)

This also adds some basic tests to ensure the functionality
provided continues to work as expected.

In some cases the exception context can be cleared, resulting in None
being attempted to be re-raised after an exception handler is run. This
can happen when eventlet switches greenthreads or when running an
exception handler, code raises and catches an exception. In both
cases the exception context will be cleared.
To work around this, we save the exception state, run handler code, and
then re-raise the original exception. If another exception occurs, the
saved exception is logged and the new exception is re-raised.
In some cases the caller may not want to re-raise the exception, and
for those circumstances this context provides a reraise flag that
can be used to suppress the exception. For example::
except Exception:
with save_and_reraise_exception() as ctxt:
decide_if_need_reraise()
if not should_be_reraised:
ctxt.reraise = False
If another exception occurs and reraise flag is False,
the saved exception will not be logged.
If the caller wants to raise new exception during exception handling
he/she sets reraise to False initially with an ability to set it back to
True if needed::
except Exception:
with save_and_reraise_exception(reraise=False) as ctxt:
[if statements to determine whether to raise a new exception]
# Not raising a new exception, so reraise
