python/machine: raise VMLaunchFailure exception from launch()

This allows us to pack in some extra information about the failure,
which guarantees that if the caller did not *intentionally* cause a
failure (by capturing this Exception), some pretty good clues will be
printed at the bottom of the traceback information.

This will help make failures in the event of a non-negative return code
more obvious when they go unhandled; the current behavior in
_post_shutdown() is to print a warning message only in the event of
signal-based terminations (for negative return codes).

(Note: In Python, catching BaseException instead of Exception catches a
broader array of Exception events, including SystemExit and
KeyboardInterrupt. We do not want to "wrap" such exceptions as a
VMLaunchFailure, because that will 'downgrade' the exception from a
BaseException to a regular Exception. We do, however, want to perform
cleanup in either case, so catch on the broadest scope and
wrap-and-re-raise only in the more targeted scope.)
