bugsnag: strip JSON objects from grouping strings, normalize LauncherError

Any embedded JSON/dict literal (starting with `{"` or `{'`) is now
stripped from error messages before they are used as grouping keys.
This prevents Kubernetes pod specs and similar runtime blobs from
fragmenting what is structurally the same error into many groups.

A dedicated normalizer for LauncherError is also added: it drops
everything after the first colon (the serialized pod spec) so that
"Failed to create pod: <spec>" normalizes to just
"LauncherError: Failed to create pod".
