Changed the superclass of MediaWiki::Exception from ::Exception to ::StandardError.
It's best practice in Ruby to rescue StandardError instead of Exception. Exceptions that are not StandardErrors are reserved for things like Interrupts, out of memory errors, and so on. Normal Ruby code is supposed to use StandardErrors.
