JDBCRealm.authenticate() eats SQLExceptions and should not

Been there (dealt with user support issues) ... done that (tried to make error
messages more helpful) ... and I've seen server containers that behave the way
you propose get themselves published on CERT advisories for having security
vulnerabilities (what you want is *totally* against basic "Security 101" design
principles).  I'm not interested in seeing that happen to Tomcat.

If you deploy an app that throws a JDBC exception in the authenticate method
(say, because you mis-typed the name of one of the columns in the config), that
is first and foremost a flaw in your application testing and deployment
practices, which needs to be addressed before you even start thinking about how
the server might be more responsive to reporting these problems to the ultimate
end user.
