This should give even only mildly technical users a
chance to figure out what's going on, which empirically
is not the case for a plain Exception(LoadFault) without
further context.
Also factors out duplicate code for (de)serializing
elements of lists and ndarrays, and replaces the rounding
calculations by the well-known, much faster power-of-two-only
bit-twiddling version.
GitHub: Fixes#1934.
In particular, i64/double are actually supposed to be aligned
to their size on RISC-V (at least according to the ELF psABI),
though it is unclear to me whether this actually caused any
issues.
`llvm-addr2line` is not included as part of the llvm binary package for Windows. This causes ARTIQ python compilations issues when conda is not used (so the `llvm-tools` conda package is not installed, which provides `llvm-addr2line` currently).
Artiq assumes that all exceptions raised by the kernel can be constructed with
a single string argument. This isn't always the case. Especially for
exceptions that originated in python and were propagated to the kernel over
rpc.
With out this change a mosek solver failure looks like:
```
