process/knotty: Improve early exception handling

The new server startup code means exceptions can happen when we aren't
setup to show them to the user correctly, leading to ugly tracebacks.

Add in some special case handling of BBHandledException to at least
ensure that common case doesn't traceback and the user sees meaningful
output.

In the future, the logging setup can likely be improved, as can the way
runCommand handles exceptions, they all should likely become real
exceptions again on the UI side.
