#3051: Storage clients fail, nearly completely, when they encounter a "bad"
storage announcement

---------------------+---------------------------
 I tried putting a weird announcement (relating to a possible new feature)
 into servers.yaml.  `load_static_servers` really didn't like it and raised
 an exception which made it all the way up to the top level and got logged.
 It stopped all the rest of client initialization and rendered the client
 totally useless (but still running).

 Instead, weird announcements should be logged, marked as weird, but should
 not hurt initialization, startup, and normal operation of anything else
 that's configured.
