mendeley: ignore errors attempting to install link handler on startup

dtzWill · Mic92 · commit 55bc539b8058 · 2017-06-28T23:44:02.000+01:00
It's not critical functionality and AFAICT only fails in environments that wouldn't benefit from "successfully" installing it anyway. Fixes #24709 Fixes #24821 (cherry picked from commit 4f4ae214a3a46ba83f790d23c0e9df0bf9f04215)
