Fix a potential exploit where private information could be leaked if
it was contained in the error message of an unexpected exception.
For example, NoMethodError contains a raw dump of the object in the
error message, which could leak private user data if you could force a
User object to raise a NoMethodError.
Fix the error page to only show known-safe error messages from expected
exceptions, not unknown error messages from unexpected exceptions.
API changes:
* JSON errors now have a `message` param. The message will be blank for unknown exceptions.
* XML errors have a new format. This is a breaking change. They now look like this:
<result>
<success type="boolean">false</success>
<error>PaginationExtension::PaginationError</error>
<message>You cannot go beyond page 5000.</message>
<backtrace type="array">
<backtrace>app/logical/pagination_extension.rb:54:in `paginate'</backtrace>
<backtrace>app/models/application_record.rb:17:in `paginate'</backtrace>
<backtrace>app/logical/post_query_builder.rb:529:in `paginated_posts'</backtrace>
<backtrace>app/logical/post_sets/post.rb:95:in `posts'</backtrace>
<backtrace>app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:22:in `index'</backtrace>
</backtrace>
</result>
instead of like this:
<result success="false">You cannot go beyond page 5000.</result>
* Simplify code.
* Show backtraces for all users, not just builders.
* Show backtraces only for unexpected server errors (status 5xx), not
for normal client errors (status 4xx).
* Log expected errors at info level (reduce noise in production logs).
