Propagate exceptions fully when using proc_lib
This makes proc_lib behaves like a normal process as far as the propagation of exceptions is concerned. Before this commit, the following difference could be observed: 6> spawn_link(fun() -> ssl:send(a,b) end). <0.43.0> 7> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.43.0>, {function_clause, [{ssl,send,[a,b],[{file,"..."},{line,275}]}]}} ok 8> proc_lib:spawn_link(fun() -> ssl:send(a,b) end). <0.46.0> 9> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.46.0>,function_clause} After this commit, we get the following instead: 3> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.61.0>, {function_clause, [{ssl,send,[a,b],[{file,"..."},{line,275}]}, {proc_lib,init_p,3,[{file,"..."},{line,232}]}]}} The stacktrace will show minor differences of course but the form is now the same as without proc_lib. The rationale behind this commit is that: * We now have a single form regardless of how the process was started * We can use the stacktrace to programmatically alter behavior (for example an HTTP server identifying problems in input decoding to send back a generic 400, or a 500 otherwise) * We can access the stacktrace to print it somewhere (for example an HTTP server could send it back to the client when a debug mode is enabled)
