    In some cases the exception context can be cleared, resulting in None
    being attempted to be re-raised after an exception handler is run. This
    can happen when eventlet switches greenthreads or when running an
    exception handler, code raises and catches an exception. In both
    cases the exception context will be cleared.

    To work around this, we save the exception state, run handler code, and
    then re-raise the original exception. If another exception occurs, the
    saved exception is logged and the new exception is re-raised.

    In some cases the caller may not want to re-raise the exception, and
    for those circumstances this context provides a reraise flag that
    can be used to suppress the exception.  For example::

      except Exception:

              if not should_be_reraised:
                  ctxt.reraise = False

    If another exception occurs and reraise flag is False,
    the saved exception will not be logged.

    If the caller wants to raise new exception during exception handling
    he/she sets reraise to False initially with an ability to set it back to
    True if needed::

      except Exception:
          with save_and_reraise_exception(reraise=False) as ctxt:
              [if statements to determine whether to raise a new exception]
