test(django): add tests proving exception capture fix works

Add test_exception_capture.py that demonstrates:
- Without process_exception() (v6.7.11), view exceptions are NOT captured to PostHog
- With process_exception() (PR #350), exceptions ARE captured

Tests use mocking to verify posthog.capture_exception is called.
Successfully validated both async and sync view exception capture.

This branch is stacked on PR #350 to test both fixes together:
- PR #350: Exception capture via process_exception()
- PR #358: Async user access via request.auser()

All 7 tests pass, demonstrating both bug fixes work correctly.

+Bug: Without process_exception(), view exceptions are NOT captured to PostHog.
+Fix: PR #350 adds process_exception() which Django calls to capture exceptions.
