Summary: Uncaught exception when an extension constructor fails

Initial Comment:
When an extension is instantiated, it may throw an
exception.  Currently, this exception is not caught by
the wix tools as evidenced by this example:

candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : Exception has been thrown
by the target of an invocation.

Exception Type: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

Stack Trace:
   at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl(Boolean
publicOnly)
   at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type,
Boolean nonPublic)
   at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type)
   at
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Candle.Run(String[]
args) in e:\
delivery\Dev\wix\src\candle\candle.cs:line 190

Getting a stack trace seems like really useful feedback for
debugging exceptions from extensions.  Furthermore, I don't
think we'd want to put try/catch blocks around every point
in wix where we call out to an extension.
