This is in addition to only successfully reporting a given error once
per session. Previously, if an error was triggered many times before
the ajax call to report the error returned, we'd end up making many
ajax requests to report the error.

We create a circular reference between handler functions and our
wrappers for them so that we can pass the wrapper to jQuery.off when
users pass the original handler to us. This reference-counting
system can't break all the circular references we create because
users can unbind event handlers without explicitly naming the
handlers they want to remove (they can remove all bindings on an
element, for example). For now, we hope that this memory leak isn't
too bad.

Previously, we couldn't actually unbind some event handlers. The
problem was that when a user called $.off(events, handler), the
passed handler wouldn't match any that were actually bound because
the handler that was actually bound was our wrapper.
This bug specifically caused the handlers for our idle timers to
never be unbound, effectively never cancelling them.

We will need this for removing event handlers. This will
unfortunately create a memory leak, but we'll partially deal with
that later.

We treat these exceptions the same way we treat fatal errors: report
the error message to our server and then allow the exception to reach
the top level.
We could also override document.onerror, but don't. There are a
couple of ramifications of this:
* Exceptions caused by event handlers directly attached to DOM
elements aren't handled
* Exceptions caused by code at the top level that triggers an error
(such as parse errors in our Javascript files) aren't handled
The reason we don't override document.onerror is because the
document.onerror handler has a limited interface and doesn't receive
the exception object. It only gets the message, file, and line
number of the error. Additionally, exceptions that we allow to
propogate out of blueslip trigger an onerror event when they're never
caught. In order to avoid handling the error twice (once by blueslip
and once by the onerror handler), we'd have to encode the fact that
the error has already been handled in the error message, which is
pretty ugly.

This is to let us pass in the stack trace of an existing exception,
which will be required in a upcoming commit.

The new system, called blueslip, makes errors fatal when in debug
mode and only output a message when running in production. In the
future, it could also send user errors back to us automatically.
