Subject: grc: handle corrupted grc.conf more gracefully
For some reason ConfigParser throws not only their base error put also AttributeError, so catching this from now on. If this proves ineffective we can always catch Exception.
See https://groups.google.com/forum/#users/9gWa-3XRpG8 for an error report.
