Instead of the Stellar executor just returning an Object like before (which
doesn't tell me much about whether the operations was successful or not) I
needed a more descriptive result like this.
This is how the CLI and Zeppelin REPLs determine whether the Stellar
expression was executed successfully or not. They need to perform different
actions based on success, failure or even if there is a termination request.
