Avoid raising bare Exception (#1168)
* Keep old exception messages (avoid breaking-changes for users relying on exception messages)

* Move ``get_expected_str`` out of _exceptions.py, where it does not belong, to its own file in _parser/_parsing_check.py

Takes any python object, and a LibCST :class:`~libcst.CSTNode` subclass and
refines the type of the python object. This is most useful when you already
know that a particular object is a certain type but your type checker is not
convinced. Note that this does an instance check for you and raises an
exception if it is not the right type, so this should be used in situations
where you are sure of the type given previous checks.
