Java exception

Pros
- More Java
- Useful when you want to handle bunch of exceptions all at once
- User doesn't have to check command by command
Cons
- Less "exact" mapping between Java and Vulkan
- Increased code generation complexity
- Bad when you want to handle exception one by one, or deliberately ignore some exceptions

LWJGL uses vulkan error code and that should be meaningful somehow. We just follow them.
