[FIX] error_handling: onError works if handling happens between culprit and root

Have a component implementing onError that calls a callback from one of its parent.
That parent should not be the original source of the rendering (a parent above is).

Make the callback handle the error and trigger an render()

Before this commit, the parent did not see it was handling a subtree in error,
and did not have a chance to revert that error state in its rendering stack.

After this commit, this flow works.

+
+When you need to pass a user-facing string to a subcomponent, you likely want it
+to be translated. Unfortunately, because props are arbitrary expressions, it wouldn't
+be practical for Owl to find out which parts of the expression are strings and translate
+them, and it also makes it difficult for tooling to extract these strings to generate
+terms to translate. While you can work around this issue by doing the translation in
+JavaScript, or by using `t-set` with a body (the body of `t-set` is translated),
+and passing the variable as a prop, this is a sufficiently common use case that Owl
+provides a suffix for this purpose: `.translate`.

+<t t-name="ParentComponent">
