Ichthyostega 9cb0a9b680 Library: discontinue setting error flag from Exceptions (see #1341)
While seemingly subtle, this is a ''deep change.''
Up to now, the project attempted to maintain two mutually disjoint
systems of error reporting: C-style error flags and C++ exceptions.
Most notably, an attempt was made to keep both error states synced.

During the recent integration efforts, this increasingly turned out
as an obstacle and source for insidious problems (like deadlocks).


As a resolve, hereby the relation of both systems is **clarified**:
 * C-style error flags shall only be set and used by C code henceforth
 * C++ exceptions can (optionally) be thrown by retrieving the C-style error code
 * but the opposite is now ''discontinued'' : Exceptions ''do not set'' the error flag anymore
