ring reports missing text plugin as an error. It should only be a warning.

Bug Description
Hello:
As mentioned in LP: #959260
The Ring plugins currently links against the text plugin as shown in:
compiz-
compiz_plugin (ring PLUGINDEPS composite opengl text)
This is because it uses the text plugin to put a text message in the middle of the screen with the window title of the selected window.
Currently in compiz-
compiz (ring) - Warn: No compatible text plugin loaded
compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'text' not loaded.
The linking, error message and the fact that the ring plugins uses the text plugin made me believe that the ring plugin should depend on text even if the ring plugin seems to work but just does not show the text messages in the middle of the screen.

I think the real bug here is the message:
compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'text' not loaded.
It's not an error and the warning that precedes it should suffice.
