Fail gracefully when PayPal is down. We should just show notify something similar to what we show for Contributions ("There was an error communicating with PayPal.Please try again later")

There are two steps in the PayPal purchase process. We call PayPal's API to get a payment key. If that fails a PayPal error is raised. We can simulate this easily by throwing in an error.
For example try a raise PaypalError at the beginning of this method:
https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/apps/paypal/__init__.py#L131
It would be worth doing that just to double check.
And see also:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710798
If that passes we fire up the iframe. Once we've started the PayPal flow we are at paypals's mercy and there's almost we can do with errors at this point. Unless you can find a way to monitor the status of an iframe across a domain. I think yesterday this is the error we were seeing and I've no idea what we can do with it.
