implements https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/557 It inserts defect handing into a bare except branch ```nim try: raiseAssert "test" except: echo "nope" ``` => ```nim try: raiseAssert "test" except: # New behaviov, now well-defined: **never** catches the assert, regardless of panic mode raiseDefect() echo "nope" ``` In this way, `except` still catches foreign exceptions, but panics on `Defect`. Probably when Nim has `except {.foreign.}`, we can extend `raiseDefect` to foreign exceptions as well. That's supposed to be a small use case anyway. `--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.
