Add Zotero.Exception.Alert and Zotero.Exception.UserCancelled

Zotero.Exception.Alert is intended for situations in which an error has an associated string that should be displayed in a dialog when the error takes place.

Zotero.Exception.UserCancelled is intended for situations where the user cancelled an action, and the cancellation should propagate.
