Alert on check function exceptions. #2

One of the biggest concerns with alerting, monitoring, and error-handling software is a problem in the software of the type it's meant to prevent - who watches the watchmen?

This improves that situation a bit for Alertinator; if there is an Exception thrown in one of your alert-checkers (other than an AlertinatorException, which is expected), we'll treat it as a CRITICAL-level problem, and alert you as such.

Since PHP didn't get object-orientation until late in life, it has the notion of errors in addition to Exceptions. We won't catch any errors here, unless you've set up an error_handler to convert those errors into (Error)Exceptions.

Exceptions are rethrown.
