Use ".then(null, Cu.reportError);" with Promise.jsm

This is a quick reminder to anyone writing or reviewing code that uses "Promise.jsm". You should check that exceptions aren't swallowed, and this is typically done with a logging rejection handler. You should always use the handler unless you're handing off the promise to other code. For some exam
