Bug 10420 – Incorrect function attributes in `core.exception`

--- import core.exception; void f1(int i) nothrow // OK { assert(i); } void f2(int i) nothrow // OK { if(!i) throw new AssertError(__FILE__, __LINE__); } void f3(int i) nothrow // error, should be OK { if(!i) onAssertError(); } void main() { // accepted, should be rejected: setAssertHandler((file, line, msg) { throw new Exception(""); }); f1(0); // nothrow function will throw an `Exception` } ---

Mark `core.exception` functions with `pure`, `nothrow`, and friends. Require user-supplied assert hander to be `nothrow`.

Why are these functions even public at all?
