add try/catch/else (#42211) This PR allows the use of `else` inside try-blocks, which is only taken if no exception was caught inside `try`. It is still combinable with `finally` as well. If an error is thrown inside the `else` block, the current semantics are that the error does not get caught and is thrown like normal, but the `finally` block is still run afterwards. This seemed like the most sensible option to me. I am not very confident about the implementation of linearization for `trycatchelse` here, so I would appreciate it if @JeffBezanson could give this a thorough review, so that I don't miss any edge cases. I thought we had an issue for this already, but I couldn't find anything. `else` might also not be the best keyword here, so maybe we can come up with something clearer. But it of course has the advantage that it is already a Julia keyword, so we don't need to add a new one. Co-authored-by: Jeff Bezanson <jeff.bezanson@gmail.com>
