Unhandled http exception crash in daemon mode

[myoung34]

This actually crossed my mind a few weeks back and burnt me (spent too long debugging other things assuming my config was fine)

Thinking of putting a generic exception handler around scan_and_emit in the thread loop: tilty/cli.py#L74, having it log the errors+traces, but keep going. Alternatively, maybe the webhook emitter should do its own exception handling for the common http error cases. Also, in that case, should retryable http errors get retried or just wait for the next event loop?

This was kind of how I was thinking. If the cli/parser breaks the whole thing breaks which is fine, I think continuing but logging/dumping is how I'd go for it

Human error (bad config for a specific emitter), inconsistent network etc are all good reasons to not blow up and abort completely

If you want to start a boilerplate PR i could take over, I could start one in a few days (i have a lot of work tasks in progress right now which would delay me), or if you get one up I can merge it in. Your choice, let me know which one works best.
