Make TRY/CATCH use real C++ try/catch in C++ mode

Although the current TRY/CATCH implementation works in C++ mode too,
it relies on setjmp/longjmp, and longjmp bypasses calling the
destructors of objects on the stack, which is obviously bad for C++.

This patch fixes this by makes TRY/CATCH use real try/catch in C++
mode behind the scenes.  The way this is done allows RAII and cleanups
to coexist while we phase out cleanups, instead of requiring a flag
day.

This patch is not strictly necessary until we require a C++ compiler
and start actually using RAII, though I'm all for baby steps, and it
shows my proposed way forward.  Putting it in now, allows for easier
experimentation and exposure of potential problems with real C++
exceptions.
