Explicitly exit with status "1" for create and drop failures

* A non-zero exit status allows subsequent shell commands to be chained
  together such as: `rake db:reset test:prepare && rspec && cap deploy`
  (if you're feeling brave :)
* Any exceptions raised during the `create` and `drop` tasks are caught
  in order to print a "pretty" message to the user. Unfortunately doing
  so prevents rake from aborting with a non-zero exit status to the shell.
* Therefore we re-raise the exceptions after the "pretty" message and
  re-catch them in the task.
* From the task we explicitly exit with a non-zero status. This method
  was chosen (rather than just letting rake fail from the exception) so
  that the backtrace is suppressed and the output to stderr is
  unchanged.
* Update activerecord CHANGELOG
