heat-manage script fails on encryption due to invalid data

[Pratik Mallya]

The heat-manage update_params encrypt script is meant to be used as a tool for encrypting parameters in database entries for older stacks. For encrypting the database, the service may be required to be taken offline; thus the script should be as robust as possible. In particular, if the db entry contains malformed data, instead of crashing, the script should log the error and continue processing. This does not happen currently, where malformed data often cause the script to crash.

    Make encryption script log exception and continue
