Ran Benita b13fcb23d7 logging: propagate errors during log message emits
Currently, a bad logging call, e.g.

    logger.info('oops', 'first', 2)

triggers the default logging handling, which is printing an error to
stderr but otherwise continuing.

For regular programs this behavior makes sense, a bad log message
shouldn't take down the program. But during tests, it is better not to
skip over such mistakes, but propagate them to the user.

If an error is encountered while formatting the message in a logging call, for
example ``logging.warning("oh no!: %s: %s", "first")`` (a second argument is
missing), pytest now propagates the error, likely causing the test to fail.
Previously, such a mistake would cause an error to be printed to stderr, which
is not displayed by default for passing tests. This change makes the mistake
visible during testing.
You may supress this behavior temporarily or permanently by setting
``logging.raiseExceptions = False``.
