scripts/functions: do not abort on failed svn

In case of eglibc, some add-ons that were previously external are
now internal (bundled with the main sources).

So we do not want to fail if an add-on can't be downloaded; we
want to post-pone the check until we can extract the main archive.

So:
- try to retrieve the add-on
- if it fails, print a warning instead of calling CT_Abort
- return 1

So, components that want to catch the error and want to handle it can,
while components that do not will gracefuly fail thanks to our catching
every errors.

Bonus: it works without changing any existing retrieval procedure! :-)

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
