LanguageRuntime: Simplify NSException::GetSummary() output
ClosedPublic

Summary

Right now, NSException::GetSummary() has the following output:
"name: $exception_name - reason: $exception_reason"

It would be better to simplify the output by removing the name and only
showing the exception's reason. This way, annotations would look nicer in
the editor, and would be a shorter summary in the Variables Inspector.

Accessing the exception's name can still be done by expanding the
NSException object in the Variables Inspector.

Can we modify these strings so they're different for the different exceptions?

This one looks fine -- can you please check that this patch applied on swift still produces something reasonable for mixed obj-C/swift formatters?
My guess is that it will, and you probably just need to update some tests.

I wonder if it would be better to print "No reason" as the summary when there's not a reason string? Having the summary generally be there, but then not be there at all when the exception wasn't given a reason string, is a little disconcerting.

Arguably.

@davide I ran the Swift test suite both with and without my patch and got the same results :)
