[C++-sig] Converting std::out_of_range to Python IndexError

[Raoul Gough]

In working on the indexing suite, I came across a std::out_of_range
exception (thrown by std::vector<>::at) and wanted it to arrive in
Python as an IndexError - this functions similarly to the
StopIteration exception for sequences with __getitem__ rather than
__iter__. Anyway, adding it to libs/python/src/errors.cpp is trivial
(diff follows this paragraph). I also added an explicit include for
<stdexcept>, since this header is the one that defines the standard
exception hierarchy. OK to commit these changes?
