[issue33577] remove wrapping of __set_name__ exceptions in RuntimeError

[Carl Meyer]

New submission from Carl Meyer <carl at oddbird.net>:

Per Nick Coghlan in discussion on issue21145:

"I think it would make sense to remove the exception wrapping from the __set_name__ calls - I don't think we're improving the ease of understanding the tracebacks by converting everything to a generic RuntimeError, and we're hurting the UX of descriptor validation cases like this one."
