Return error row instead of crashing
When input is invalid for built in reducers, we return an error row
instead of crashing. Thanks to @davisp for providing the elegant
solution.
The results now look like this:
```
{
"rows": [
{
"key": null,
"value": {
"key": [],
"value": [
{
"a": 1
},
{
"a": 2
},
{
"a": 3
},
{
"a": 4
}
],
"builtin_reduce_error": "The _sum function requires that
map values be numbers, arrays of numbers, or objects, not '[{[{<<\"b\">>,\n
1}]},\n
{[{<<\"b\">>,\n
2}]},\n
{[{<<\"b\">>,\n
3}]},\n
{[{<<\"b\">>,\n
4}]}]'. Objects cannot be mixed with other data structures. Objects can be
arbitrarily nested, provided that the values for
all fields are themselves numbers, arrays of numbers, or objects."
}
}
]
}
```
I didn't change the initial error message, as it was quite informative.
Another bonus for this change
is that the log isn't flooded with error messages.
