1425442 - Avoid OperationalError when logging missing symbol

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Symbols, task)

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Yesterday, it happened 9 times that Tecken was unable to write to Postgres that a missing symbol was actually missing. 
The logging of missing symbols is not strictly that important to the main task of asking Tecken if it exists. 

OperationalError can be swallowed in the case of logging missing symbols.

Hmm... on second thought, this (^ see PR) might be wrong. Instead of swallowing the error, perhaps a better approach would be to execute the failed DB write in a Celery job if it can't be done in the "main process". 
Which begs the question, is it better to do ALL these DB writes in Celery workers?
