prevent atexit handlers from generating crash report

register `sys.excepthook = sys.__excepthook__` with atexit on aplication startup,
so it should be the first handler called.  This removes the crash handler.

 """
 An application for IPython.
 
 All top-level applications should use the classes in this module for
 handling configuration and creating componenets.
 
 The job of an :class:`Application` is to create the master configuration
 object and then create the configurable objects, passing the config to them.
