i1673 implementation of py3 proper error handling

I refactored ultratab.py a bit. `structured_traceback`
function was much too long. I extracted some of the code
to separate methods.

I added support for py3
exceptions which store information about previous
exceptions in their `__context__`.

             Your handler must return a structured traceback (a list of strings),
             or None.
 
             This will be made into an instance method (via types.MethodType)
             of IPython itself, and it will be called if any of the exceptions
             listed in the exc_tuple are caught. If the handler is None, an
             internal basic one is used, which just prints basic info.
 
             To protect IPython from crashes, if your handler ever raises an
             exception or returns an invalid result, it will be immediately
             disabled.
 
         WARNING: by putting in your own exception handler into IPython's main

       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython

       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if

       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython

 """
 Verbose and colourful traceback formatting.
 
 **ColorTB**
 
 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python.  The
 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem.  It colors the different parts of a
 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
 text editor.
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB::
 
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.ColorTB()
 
 **VerboseTB**
 
 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
 of useful info when a traceback occurs.  Ping originally had it spit out HTML
 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun?  I
 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal.  It's a bit overwhelming,
 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
 are bug-free.  If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
 
 .. note::
 
   The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
   happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
   very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
   representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
   a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
   with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
 
   If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
   Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
   variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
   Verbose).
 
 
 Installation instructions for VerboseTB::
 
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.VerboseTB()
 
 Note:  Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
 
 Color schemes
 -------------
 
 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
 
   - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
     escapes are just dummy blank strings).
 
   - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
     or very dark background).
 
   - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
     in light background terminals.
 
 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
 possible inclusion in future releases.
