CogServer does not error on module load failure

[Romeo Zenenías Roca de Rojas Zynn de Fe]

If you launch the CogServer and it cannot load a module because it has not been installed or is not present in the module search path, there is no error. It only prints some log entries at WARN level.

To duplicate, put a module in the MODULES section of a config file. Then remove the module from the install directory.

FWIW, I think the correct long-term strategy is to get rid of cogserver modules; its a pre-req for getting rid of the cogserver itself. I wouldn't waste time on this.

I also want to get rid of the config file, and the whole config mechanism.

Closing. At this time, I get this:
