Improved implementation of error_already_set::~error_already_set()

C++ exceptions are destructed in the context of the code that catches
them. At this point, the Python GIL may not be held, which could lead
to crashes with the previous implementation.

PyErr_Fetch and PyErr_Restore should always occur in pairs, which was
not the case for the previous implementation. To clear the exception,
the new approach uses PyErr_Restore && PyErr_Clear instead of simply
decreasing the reference counts of the exception objects.
