RescuedExceptionInterceptor: Handle empty configuration

Previously, it could happen that `Sentry.configuration` was `nil`.
In this case, calling `rails` would produce a `NoMethodError`.
We fix this issue by using safe navigation.

Furthermore, this commit ensures we use a reasonable default
in case the configuration couldn't be loaded. Since the config
`report_rescued_exceptions` defaults to `true`, we assume
this value here, too.

Fixes #2386
