Control-flow expressions such as logicals, optionals, and ternaries were not supported within try/catch. BuildReactiveFunction recursively traversed these terminals, and was not expecting their condition blocks to end in a maybe-throw terminal, which can occur due to the try/catch. The fix here is to treat the maybe-throw similarly to goto, passing through to the continuation block.

Adds support for value terminals (optional/logical/ternary/sequence) within try/catch clauses.
Try/catch expressions insert maybe-throw terminals after each instruction, but BuildReactiveFunction's value block extraction was not expecting these terminals. The fix is to roughly treat maybe-throw similarly to goto, falling through to the continuation block, but there are a few edge cases to handle.
I've also added extensive tests, including testing that errors correctly flow to the catch handler.
