Add default error handler to remote promises (#6151)

* Add failing spec for unhandled main process exception

* Remove unused return

* Use let/const instead of var

* Add spec for unhandled rejection in renderer process

* Prevent unhandled rejection defaul

* Use once instead of on

* Add default fulfilled/rejection handler to promise
