bzr commit -m '* pollinate, pollinate.1: LP: #1554152
- change the failure mode of pollinate, so as to more cleanly
tolerate network failures
- add a --strict option to re-enable the previous behavior,
ie, strictly exit non-zero if pollinate fails for any reason
- we've always promised that pollinate would operate on a best-effort
basis, improving the prng seeding when possible, but failing
gracefully when not possible; as such, we've made good on the first
half of that promise, however, the latter half has proven
troublesome; this is due to the fact that if pollinate exits
non-zero, then its callers (cloud-init, maas, etc.) may well
interpret the behavior strictly as a failure to boot the system,
when in fact that's not the case; instead, we'll clearly print
a warning to syslog, and we'll retry the seeding on next pollinate
service start (e.g. a reboot); moreover, we'll carry a --strict
flag in the case that users want to opt into the previous behavior' --fixes
