Show invalid config message on TraitErrors during initialization...
Show invalid config message on TraitErrors during initialization implemented via @catch_config decorator Now, the event that was triggered by invalid app config (see `--log-level 5`) is triggered by bad config at any point during initialization. This *will* catch TraitError bugs in IPython itself, but only during initialization. closes gh-908
