Subject: beam_validator: Exit immediately on crashes

The beam_validator catches all exceptions and collect them.

It makes more sense to don't catch 'error' and 'exit' exceptions,
but to just print out the name of the current function and pass
on the exception just as all other compilation passes do. Those
kind of exceptions are the symptoms of the kind of severe but
easily catched bugs that occur during development.
