Use a SyntaxError proxy object when displaying syntax error info
This commit adds a SyntaxErrorProxy object to active support and wraps
syntax error exceptions with that proxy object.  We want to enhance
syntax errors with information about the source location where they
actually happened (normally the backtrace doesn't contain such info).
Rather than mutating the original exception's backtrace, this wraps it
with a proxy object.

Eventually we will implement backtrace_locations on the proxy object so
that the exception handling middleware can be updated to _only_ deal
with backtrace_locations and never deal with raw `backtrace`

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses. In short, Action Pack
provides the controller layer in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.

You can read more about Action Pack in the {Action Controller Overview}[https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html] guide.
