fix for [#17878] Scripts operating on blender objects don't clear memory after a crash
This is an interesting bug since it is likely the cause of many other suspicious python crashes in blender.

sys.last_traceback would store references to PyObjects at the point of the crash.
it would only free these when sys.last_traceback was set again or on exit.

This caused many crashes in the BGE while testing since python would end up freeing invalid game objects -
When running scripts with errors, Blender would crash every 2-5 runs - in my test just now it crashed after 4 trys.

It could also segfault blender, when (for eg) you run a script that has objects referenced. then load a new file and run another script that raises an error.
In this case all the invalid Blender-Object's user counts would be decremented, even though none of the pointers were still valid.
