#2913: OldException's catch etc should treat new Exception types as
DynException's

`OldException`'s catch etc should treat new `Exception` types as
`DynException`'s. Currently new style exceptions are just not caught,
which is a bug. It also means that cleaning up with functions like
`finally` doesn't work properly.
Additionally, functions like `bracket`, `onException`, `finally` which
don't actually exposed the exception type could just use the new functions
directly, rather than reimplementing them.
