commands: make die() print a stack trace when -vvv or more

Print a stack trace when debugging with -vvv or more. This is MUCH faster than `git grep error_message` and it's even more useful when the same error message is used in multiple places! Example: die_already() in project.py Signed-off-by: Marc Herbert <[email protected]>
