eldritch horrors

c++ does not support result types very well. kj promises do not support exceptions very well, but result types are fine. since we need to treat errors like values to be compatible with kj we are forced to use result types. creating a failure result from the current exception is our most common error return right now, so let's have a shorthand for this. it'd be nice to also drop the try-catch wrapper somehow, but since macros do not work with clang-format (macro-wrapped bodies confuse the formatter, trashing the entire file) and clang plugins tie us even harder to clang we'll probably have to keep the wrappers (until we can rewrite in rust) Change-Id: I463dd0a4ebedb79a5335c92251c4d12b9d64b401
