Maximilian Bosch e23bed5e64 libutil: expose the functionality of Lix's exception handler
This introduces three new things:

* `handleException` which prints out exception details and its stack
  trace.
* `handleExceptionWithAsyncTrace` which does the same, but also prints
  the async trace if any.
* `LIX_BLOCK_ON` which is awaits a promise and adds an exception trace
  if an exception got thrown, similar to `LIX_TRY_AWAIT`. However, this
  is not supposed to be used in async functions, but on callsites of
  `aio.blockOn()` which is especially useful for Hydra[1].

For `LIX_BLOCK_ON` I had to introduce another function because there's
apparently no way to implement all of it in a macro: on macros with
compound statements the return value must be a trivial expression at the
bottom, i.e. no `try`/`catch`. Now, returning the value from the
`try`-block requires the variable to be defined up-front, but for that
we'd need to know the type-name. Hence the construction with a
template-function being invoked by a macro that injects the current
source-location.

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
