Simplify exception handling

Now that cleanups have been removed, TRY/CATCH can't be SJLJ-based any
more.  This patch simplifies the exception handling code, by removing
the non-working variants.

Note that the "pure" C++ exception handling code is removed as well; I
think the route forward must be to change exceptions to be
self-destructing, so that try_scope_depth can simply be removed.

Some longjmp-based code remains, as it is needed to throw an exception
through readline.
