org.ofbiz.base.* Debug.logError bad usage(s)

[Adam Heath-2]

There are *tons* of places in base that call Debug.logError, either
with or without an exception, then immediately throw their own
exception back to their callers.

Debug.logError should *not* be called, if the error is being reported
back to the caller in some other manner.  This is a cause of major
exception duplications in the log.

Should we go about fixing these?

The first one I happened to check, was in BshUtil; it catches
EvalError, logs it, then immediately rethrows it.

I'm not suggesting we modify the api to add a bunch of throws clauses;
but if an exception is already going to be thrown, then there is no
need to log it.

I did not look into details, but all that would reduce duplication in log without changing any other behaviors would be a very good
thing IMO
