Stefan Filip 02606da6c5 pathmatcher: allow errors in match function definition
Summary:
The most common scenario where we see matcher errors is when we iterate through
a manifest and the user sends SIGTERM to the process. The matcher may be both
Rust and Python code. The Python code handles the interrupt and prevents future
function calls. The iterating Rust code will continue to call matcher functions
through this time so we get matcher errors from the terminated Python stack.

As long as we have Python matcher code, errors are valid.
It is unclear to me whether the matcher trait should have `Result` return
values when all implementations are Rust. It is easy to imagine implementations
that can fail in different circumstances but the ones that we use if we just
port the Python code wouldn't fail.
All in all, I think that this is a reasonable step forward.
