New `BuiltIn` keyword `Fatal Error` to stop the whole test execution

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We now have a possibility to stop the whole execution using `fatal`
exceptions (issue 366). We should also have a BuiltIn keyword that does the
same thing.

It's implementation could probably be something like this:

def fatal_error(message=None):
    error = AssertionError(message)
    error.ROBOT_EXIT_ON_FAILURE = True
    raise error

Is there a way to stop execution of current testcase only and then execution 
would continue to next test case on the testsuite?

Samuli: Yes, just use the built in keyword "Fail".
