The C++ land node::FatalException() is not in fact fatal anymore.
It gives the user a chance to handle the uncaught exception
globally by listening to the uncaughtException event. This patch
renames it to TriggerUncaughtException in C++ to avoid the confusion.

In addition rename the JS land handler to onGlobalUncaughtException
to reflect its purpose - we have to keep the alias
process._fatalException and use that for now since it has been
monkey-patchable in the user land.

This patch also

  • Adds more comments to the global uncaught exception handling routine
  • Puts a few other C++ error handling functions into the errors
    namespace
  • Moves error-handling-related bindings to the errors binding.

Sadly, an error occurred when I tried to trigger a build. :(

triggerFatalException(error, false /* fromPromise */);
// runInAsyncScope() swallows the error so we need to catch
// it and handle it here.
triggerUncaughtException(error, false /* fromPromise */);

@devsnek I tried a cctest on V8 master and it seems the issue still exist. However we still need to catch the error even when it's fixed since runInAsyncScope() will swallow the error.
