Bitbake exception handling syntax.

Bitbake exception handling syntax.

[Scott Garman]

In a failed attempt to make bitbake pass the parsing stage with python 
v3, I noticed that the syntax we use for exception handling is 
inconsistent.

The old way is to do: except ExcType, localvar
The new way is: except ExcType as localvar

We're using the new syntax (which is python v3.x compatible) throughout 
most of the code, so the patch I'm about to submit cleans up the 
remaining cases using the old syntax.

That sounds good to me. I converted all of them at one point, but the
code has changed since then :)
