Fix exception aggregation to ensure atomic handling of exceptions

* Removed legacy onFinishing handler support from JobSupport.
  - It is no longer needed, because handleJobException covers #208
* Fixed bugs that were masked by cancelling parent from onFinishing.
* Job.cancelChild(parent) is introduced as a dedicated method to
  send cancellation signal from parent to child.
* Job.getCancellationException() now works in completing state, too,
  and it is  used to get exception when parent's completion cancels
  children.
* Child never aggregates exception received from it parent.
* JobSupport.handleJobException() for launch/actor is split into:
  - cancelParentWithException - can be invoked multiple times on race;
  - handleJobException which - invoked exactly once.
* Exception materiazization is much lazier now, which should
  significantly improve performance when cancelling large hierarchies.
* Other minor perf improvements in JobSupport code.
