tools/check-newsbugs.py fails if a bug is private

[John A Meinel]

I was running check-newsmerge and it crashed after a while, with a complaint about accessing an Unauthorized resource because the bug was marked private.

1) I don't know what bug this was. The traceback would indicate bug #408841, but that bug isn't private

2) It would be nice if it reported 'this bug was private'. at the very least,
do something about not falling over. Since I can't really just resume it.

Bug 408841 was mentioned in NEWS but is not marked as affecting bzr

This is almost a launchpadlib bug that you get such a poor error, but
it's probably also something we can work around in bzr.
