[IDEA] failonerror=false for forrestbot2
While it may have limited use in production, for development I think it
would be nice to be able to configure forrestbot to continue even if there
are broken links on the website.

Right now, I'm working on getting forrestbot set up for a project that
consistently breaks. It's going to be a while before I (or someone else) will
be able to decide how best to fix it. In the mean time, I'd like it to continue
with the deploy and notify.

If you like. We could do that with an <if> test around the <throw>. But
all that would achieve is that the 'deploy' step would run, and if
there's a broken page, generally you wouldn't want it deployed. I
envisaged the Forrestbot being used for stable sites where errors
shouldn't occur. Why use it during development?
