Ensure all the exceptions cat be spied on

This change replaces `Exception` with `BaseException` in the `spy()`
method provided by the `mocker` fixture. This enables the caller to
spy on things like `KeyboardInterrupt`, `GeneratorExit` and
`SystemExit` exceptions that hasn't been possible before because of
a bug.

Before this change, any occurances of the above exceptions caused
`spy()` to assign `None` to both `spy_return` and `spy_exception`
attributes.

Fixes pytest-dev#215

 * Add `mock.seal` alias to the `mocker` fixture (`#211`_). Thanks `@coiax`_ for the PR.

+  Before the fix, both ``spy_return`` and ``spy_exception``
