Public bug reported:

When modifying instance security groups, Horizon catches all exceptions
and reraises a simple, dumb Exception with the message:

    Failed to modify %d instance security groups.

That's useless enough, but since it reraises Exception, it has no hope
of being caught further downstream and reported meaningfully to the
user.

To see this in action, attempt to modify the security groups of a
suspended instance.  Nova returns a decent error to Horizon, but Horizon
returns a useless error to the user.
