[Midas] error handling

[Zach Mullen]

If the exception is thrown as part of a controller that renders a view, the
view will be rendered as the default error view instead of the expected
view.  This default error view is different for development and production
environments.  In development mode, it just prints the error message and
stack trace instead of the view.  In production mode, a message saying
something like "an error occurred, please contact your administrator"
appears.

Throwing a Zend_Exception also adds the exception and its stack trace into
the Midas error log that is visible to server admins, regardless of the
mode.

Thanks,

Zach
