bitbake: process: Improve traceback error reporting from main loop

Currently the code can just show nothing as the exception if there was a double
fault, which in this code path is quite likely. This leads to an error log
which effectively says "it failed" with no information about how.

Improve things so we get a nice verbose traceback left in the logs/output
which is preferable to no logs.
