Description

On line 362 of voronoi.py, there is the line `except Exception as err:` which is used to swallow all exceptions thrown in the method `voronoi`. This is generally a bad idea and and is making my life a lot harder while debugging an issue I'm having with the Voronoi Polygons geometry tool.

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/algs/qgis/voronoi.py#L362

My suggested fix is to remove this try/except block so that exceptions can propagate up the stack freely. It may be better to instead modify the expect statement to catch only some relevant exceptions that actually should be ignored.

Remove try-except block in voronoi.py fixes #19798

This block was swallowing all exceptions within the voronoi method.
Removing the block causes exceptions throw in the method to propagate up
the stack and eventually become visible in log files.
