[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.

 a reference to the actual Owl App, then using the `App` class directly is

+## Roots
+
+An application can have multiple roots. It is sometimes useful to instantiate
+sub components in places that are not managed by Owl, such as an html editor
+with dynamic content (the Knowledge application in Odoo).
+
+To create a root, one can use the `createRoot` method, which takes two arguments:
+
+- **`Component`**: a component class (Root component of the app)
+- **`config (optional)`**: a config object that may contain a `props` object or a
+  `env` object.
+
+The `createRoot` method returns an object with a `mount` method (same API as
+the `App.mount` method), and a `destroy` method.
+
+```js
+const root = app.createRoot(MyComponent, { props: { someProps: true } });
+await root.mount(targetElement);
+
+// later
+root.destroy();
+```
+
+Note that, like with owl `App`, it is the responsibility of the code that created
+the root to properly destroy it (before it has been removed from the DOM!). Owl
+has no way of doing it itself.

+## Translatable props
+
+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`.
+
+```xml
+<t t-name="ParentComponent">
+    <Child someProp.translate="some message"/>
+</t>
+```
+
+Note that the content of this attribute is _NOT_ treated as a JavaScript expression:
+it is treated as a string, as if it was an attribute on an HTML element, and translated
+before being passed to the component. If you need to interpolate some data into the
+string, you will still have to do this in JavaScript.
