Attachment: Bug 1426145 - Fail browser tests in case of developer-level JS Error;r?ahal

This patch ensures that if we have raised a TypeError, SyntaxError or RangeError, we fail the test, even if the error was accidentally caught. This behavior can be deactivated manually as follows:

• either by manually calling ChromeUtils.clearRecentJSDevError() after having thrown the error (recommended if the test expected the error to be thrown);
• or by calling PromiseUtils.thisTestLeaksUncaughtRejectionsAndShouldBeFixed() to postpone fixing the issue.

Depends on D94973
