report the context, if possible, on python tracebacks

The interpreter tries to catch any exception and add the latest node
information to it, but currently we only used that to print better
formatted error messages on MesonException.

Since we should theoretically have that property for most/all
exceptions, let's percolate that upward, and message the user that an
unexpected traceback was encountered, that it should be reported as a
bug, and the helpful information of "how far into parsing this
meson.build did we get before erroring out, anyway?"
