Backport PR #2223: Custom tracebacks...
Backport PR #2223: Custom tracebacks Rather than special casing IPython.parallel errors (which led to issue #2221), this adds a simple API where exception classes can offer a custom traceback, by defining a `_render_traceback_(self)` method. It also adds some documentation on how third parties can integrate packages with IPython. 'Configuration & customisation' seemed the most natural home for this. We should remember to close #2221 when we merge this - I forgot to put it in a commit message.

def flag_calls(func):
"""Wrap a function to detect and flag when it gets called.
This is a decorator which takes a function and wraps it in a function with
a 'called' attribute. wrapper.called is initialized to False.
The wrapper.called attribute is set to False right before each call to the
wrapped function, so if the call fails it remains False. After the call
completes, wrapper.called is set to True and the output is returned.
Testing for truth in wrapper.called allows you to determine if a call to
func() was attempted and succeeded."""
