construct empty exceptions with no arguments, instead of () and {}

[radix]

Here's a simple change to get rid of the weird exceptions with () and {} passed as arguments.

No tests failed by this change, so I guess it's reasonably backwards-compatible; I did add a simple test for the new behavior.

This partially addresses #362.

AFAICT the failures in travis are unrelated to my change, but I'm not completely sure of that.

Ping. I don't think I have access to retry the travis tests... but I've run the builds that failed locally and they passed, so I don't think there's a problem with the branch... could an admin retry the build?

I'll get that retried (since I have the power),

Btw feel free to jump on #zookeeper irc channel on freenode if u need more
immediate response.
