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 module provides a common base class for all exceptions
which are related to user or configuration errors. These exceptions
should be caught and reported to the user using a meaningful message
instead of a stacktrace.
When handling errors in KAS, never return directly using `sys.exit`,
but instead throw an exception derived from :class:`KasUserError` (for user
errors), or one derived from `Exception` for internal errors. These
are then handled centrally, mapped to correct return codes and pretty
printed.
