Support (try .. (catch :default _ ..)) for portable "catch-all"

Clojurescript has this to expose the untyped catch, which is equivalent to (catch Throwable _) on java.

http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJS-661

Proposals

1) add (catch :default _) to mean (catch Throwable _)
2) add (catch :default _) to mean (catch Exception _)
3) add (catch :all _) to mean (catch Throwable _)

Please see design page for discussion of proposals: http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Platform+Errors

Patches

v001 implements just 1)

This patch is more permissive than my patch for CLJS: The CLJS patch ensures :default catch blocks occur between non-default catch blocks and finally blocks, if present. This patch just makes (catch :default ...) a synonym for (catch Throwable ...). I wanted to keep the change to the compiler minimum.

Open Question: Catch Throwable (patch v001 does this) or Exception? Alternatively, a more carefully crafted list of "non-fatal" errors. See Scala's NonFatal pattern extractor: http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/util/control/NonFatal$.html

v002 implements 2) + 3)

This builds on v001, so the same caveat about clause ordering applies.

v003 implements just 2)

This builds on v001, so the same caveat about clause ordering applies.
