Details

Our error messages for datazilla posting are basically awful and date
back to the days of wild experiments:

http://hg.mozilla.org/build/talos/file/aca06caab3ee/talos/output.py#l432

We should make them better. Much better.

datazilla is not getting results from inbound :(  And we have no way
of finding out why :( :(  Transitioning to datazilla_client, bug
763550, which i'm working on currently will help.

We also need to figure out a way of testing this, not just for talos
but for anything that posts to datazilla.
as a first stab we should probably print out the exception unless this will bork buildbot or something.  Then we can start catching finer-grained exceptions for cases we actually encounter.
This was largely taken with http://hg.mozilla.org/build/talos/rev/1f1c3ba618fb ; going to close this as a duplicate though there are probably specific cases we should handle better.
