PHP7 exception handler needs to accept Throwables

[Aaron Wells]

One of the backwards-incompatible changes in PHP7 is that some errors throw an Error object, which will go to the user-defined exception handler rather than the user-defined error handler. So the exception handler needs to accept Throwable objects (the ancestor to both Error and Exception) instead of just Exception objects.

PHP7 changes the type required for exception handler

Bug 1575969. In PHP7 some errors throw an Error object (to
the exception handler) instead of generating an error
(handled by the error handler). The official way to make
an exception handler that will work in PHP 5 & 7, is to
leave off the parameter's type declaration.
