Title: Sigsegv as exception

When core.nullpointererror is imported in a project, it transform null deference into NullPointerError and other segfault in SignalError on linux x86 and x86_64 .

If the idea is successful, and implemented on other systems (windows, macOS, freeBSD) it could become the standard behavior. For now, it only behave that way when the module is explicitly imported.

This is realted to : https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/181 that should be included before.
