Use gnus-error to report mail-source failures
* lisp/gnus/mail-source.el (mail-source-fetch): Instead of querying the user on mail sources errors -- in effect asking "do you want to continue, or halt the process?" -- log the error with `gnus-error', severity 5. The query didn't provide any meaningful control; error reporting is all that's needed. (mail-source-ignore-errors): Obsolete this option; users can see the error or not by configuring `gnus-verbose'. * doc/misc/gnus.texi (Mail Source Customization): Remove mention of the above option from the manual.
