Make stacktraces consistent when backtrace_depth is 0
It is allowed to set the backtrace depth to 0, but when
an exception is catched the stacktrace will still contain
one element:
1> erlang:system_flag(backtrace_depth, 0).
8
2> catch error(badarg).
{'EXIT',{badarg,[{shell,apply_fun,3,
[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,908}]}]}}
However, when an exception is raised using `erlang:raise/3`, there
will be no elements in the stacktrace:
3> catch erlang:raise(error, badarg, [{fake,name,[arg],[]}]).
{'EXIT',{badarg,[]}}
Since the `error_handler` module uses `erlang:raise/3` to
raise an exception when an undefined function is called,
there will not be any stacktrace when calling an undefined
function:
4> catch undef_module:undef_name(some_argument).
{'EXIT',{undef,[]}}
Fix this inconsistency by changing `erlang:raise/3` so that
it always includes one element in the stacktrace:
3> catch erlang:raise(error, badarg, [{fake,name,[arg],[]}]).
{'EXIT',{badarg,[{fake,name,[arg],[]}]}}
4> catch undef_module:undef_name(some_argument).
{'EXIT',{undef,[{undef_module,undef_name,[some_argument],[]}]}}
