waitForConfig() is swallowing exceptions

[hinderling]

As discussed in micro-manager/pymmcore#90 there seems to be unexpected behaviour in waitForConfig(), where errors are logged but ignored:

void CMMCore::waitForConfig(const char* group, const char* configName) throw (CMMError)
{
   CheckConfigGroupName(group);
   CheckConfigPresetName(configName);

   Configuration cfg = getConfigData(group, configName);
   try {
      for(size_t i=0; i<cfg.size(); i++)
         waitForDevice(cfg.getSetting(i).getDeviceLabel().c_str());
   } catch (CMMError& err) {
      // trap MM exceptions and keep quiet - this is not a good time to blow up
      logError("waitForConfig", err.getMsg().c_str());
   }
}

For comparison, in waitForSystem() errors like e.g. a device timeout error are propagated from waitForDevice()->waitForDeviceType()->waitForSystem().

As by @marktsuchida, it's been this way since 2007, so changing this would probably break existing scripts.

Thanks for creating the issue. We might be able to slowly migrate this to throwing using the new "feature" facility (#394/#399).
