I'm trying to use pulumi_aws.ebs.get_volume to fetch a volume. It can't find the volume, so it's raising an Exception, and I can't seem to catch the exception.

I have the call to `get_volume` wrapped in a `try:` with an `except:`, but even so, I get
```Exception: invocation of aws:ebs/getVolume:getVolume returned an error: invoking aws:ebs/getVolume:getVolume: Your query returned no results. Please change your search criteria and try again.
    error: an unhandled error occurred: Program exited with non-zero exit code: 1```

I want to do one thing if this volume exists and another if it doesn't, so I need to be able to handle this case correctly.

How should these `get_` functions be used in this example? I'm facing the same issue with looking up the route tables of a VPC that is only provisioned after `pulumi up` is executed.
