[issue23763] Chain exceptions in C

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

pyerr_assert.patch: modify PyErr_SetObject() and PyErr_Format() to fail with an assertion error if these functions are called with an exception set.

This patch detects where an exception is raised while another exception was already raised (like "try: ... except: raise ...").

I'm using this patch to explicitly not chain exceptions where chaining exceptions would be pointless (ex: replace a TypeError with a new TypeError with a better error message).
