Felix Moessbauer a5750901c6 use custom exceptions to improve error handling
This patch adds the KasUserError exception class to distinguish between
internal kas exceptions and user or configuration errors. Exceptions
previously raised on user errors are ported over by deriving
KasUserError. In case of user errors, only the exception message is
shown, but no stacktrace. This makes it easier for users to locate the
issue as the reason is now stated in the last line of the output.

Kas internal exceptions are not subject to this change to help the
developers to find the root cause more easily.

This tool provides an easy mechanism to setup bitbake based
projects.

The OpenEmbedded tooling support starts at step 2 with bitbake. The
downloading of sources and then configuration has to be done by
hand. Usually, this is explained in a README. Instead kas is using a
project configuration file and does the download and configuration
phase.

Key features provided by the build tool:

- clone and checkout bitbake layers
- create default bitbake settings (machine, arch, ...)
- launch minimal build environment, reducing risk of host contamination
- initiate bitbake build process

See the `kas documentation <https://kas.readthedocs.io>`_ for further details.

SECURITY NOTICE
---------------

At this stage, kas does not validate the integrity of fetched repositories.
Make sure to only pull from trusted sources to ensure that the selected
revisions are the expected ones, specifically when using mirrors. Later
versions of kas may introduce integrity validation mechanisms such as
cryptographic checksums to strengthen supply chain security.
