Catch exceptions without JIT compiling the wrapper.

[erick-xanadu]

Context: Add a pybind wrapper to translate C++ expcetions to Python exceptions.

Description of the Change: Does not use libffi. Depends on #106.

Benefits: No compilation time spent in the wrapper. No dependency on libffi. Better UX.

With this new solution, on my machine (and therefore not a rigorous benchmark) the compilation time is back to what is expected.

real    0m33.046s
user    1m27.750s
sys     0m30.265s

Baseline (no wrapper, git revert HEAD)

real    0m34.807s
user    1m31.175s
sys     0m32.559s

Here is a link to the previous implementation:

Please note that this is not a rigorous benchmark but it roughly gives us the idea that things are staying fairly equal.

We'll have to wait for approval from @maliasadi but looks good to me 👍

LGTM 🎉
