Improve error message when using closed ECDriver instances

Previously, we would wrap an error coming out of our pyeclib_c
extension to get something like

   pyeclib.ec_iface.ECInvalidParameter: pyeclib_c_encode ERROR:
   Invalid arguments. Please inspect syslog for liberasurecode
   error report.

Now, raise something more specific/useful:

   ECBackendInstanceNotAvailable: erasure coding backend is closed
