1640747 - Add test-level support for handling exceptions while running the tests

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: mozperftest, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Andrew Creskey [:acreskey]]

There are some cases where the developers who write the test would like to be able to handle the exceptions thrown in the automation stack.

One use case is launching Fenix without a view intent -- a gecko session isn't created and so Browsertime cannot establish the webDriver session.
I would like to be able to manually handle this exception and let the test proceed.

This patch adds the on_exception hook, that will let developers
drive the runner behavior when a layer fails.
