Handle exceptions during the S-bit rate scan

Laurent Petre requested to merge bugfix/sbit-rate-error-handling into develop

Description

The exceptions were not caught and handled in the scanning thread (used at the moment only by the S-bit rate scan) leading to an abrupt termination of the whole xDAQ executive if only one of the back-end board was reporting a single error.

This MR aims at catching all exceptions in the scanning thread, avoiding the executive termination, and moving the AMCManager to the Error state with a meaningful error message.

How Has This Been Tested?

Starting an S-bit rate scan, then powering off one chamber. The AMCManager goes to Error with a meaningful error message.
