    SAMZA-1077: Catch throwables in SamzaContainer

    Here's the snippet from the startup sequence of the SamzaContainer.
    
    SamzaContainer.scala
    ```
          startProducers
          startTask
          startConsumers
          startSecurityManger
    
          info("Entering run loop.")
          addShutdownHook
          runLoop.run
        } catch {
          case e: Exception =>
            error("Caught exception in process loop.", e)
            throw e
        } finally {
          info("Shutting down.")
    
          shutdownConsumers
          shutdownTask
          shutdownStores
    ```
    In this case, the catch block should catch all Throwables instead of merely 
catching Exceptions. This will cause errors like `NoSuchMethodErrors` to be 
masked. Furthermore, the error can get lost completely if the finally block 
throws an exception during any of the shutdown calls.
    Catching all Throwables will prevent this.
