[ListView] Cryptic errors from renderHeader and renderSectionHeader

[ccheever]

If you try throwing an error from an implementation of renderRow or renderSectionHeader in a ListView, you get a very cryptic error message with a stack trace that doesn't point to the problematic code at all.

A similar problem also occurs if either of those methods returns undefined.

It would be good if those weren't so cryptic (maybe wrapped in a try/catch?).

@ccheever - Have any time to put together a PR to fix this? High quality error messages are very important for dev workflow 😄

@brentvatne - sorry haven't had time yet :/
