refactor: alternate implementation for exception context

This implementation works differently than the previous one. It actually
implements all the standard function based on the GHC 9.12 api (e.g.
`tryWithContext`, `catchNoPropagate`, `rethrowIO`) and provides a simple
and localise compatibility layer which reimplements these function for
older `base`.

The implementation should be easier to read with less CPP and subtle
logic scattered everywhere.

+-- * Compatibilty logic with base 4.21 for exception context. The rational here is that this module is implemented with 'ExceptionWithContext' as the basic building block with the following special cases:
+--
+-- - With base >= 4.21 (GHC 9.12), exception context is propagated correctly using the 'rethrowIO', 'catchNoPropagate', ... functions.
+-- - With base >= 4.20 (GHC 9.10), exception context logic exists, but not the 'rethrow' logic. We reimplemented these function which are basically discarding the context
+-- - With base < 4.20 (GHC 9.8 and older), we just use the old functions which does not know anything about exception context. We implement an alias 'ExceptionWithContext' which is actually bare exception.
+--
+-- For all version we implement 'dropContext' which is able to drop the
+-- context, for all the function such as 'poll' which returns an exception without context.
+
+
+-- | Drop the exception context
+dropContext :: ExceptionWithContext t -> t
+
+-- | Rethrow an exception inside 'STM' context, while preserving the 'ExceptionContext'. See 'rethrowIO' for details.
