logging: Add full support for logging exception tracebacks.

This commit allows you to pass an exception object in as the exc_info kwarg
(CPython allows this), so logging exceptions can work even if the
MICROPY_PY_SYS_EXC_INFO option is disabled in the firmware.

Separately to that, currently even when sys.exc_info() is enabled, it's
only printing the traceback to _stream = sys.stderr - not to the configured
logging handlers.  This means for instance if you've got a file log
handler it misses out on the tracebacks.  That's also fixed in this commit.
