Trap and ignore the error

gnome-rr.c should trap and ignore any errors when setting the primary output

This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon from crashing when trying to set the primary output using the modesetting driver (or any other driver that doesn't support primary outputs). The modesettings driver supports RandR providers (RandR 1.4) but apparently doesn't support primary outputs.

We use the modesetting driver to enable PRIME on systems with hybrid graphics (intel+nvidia).
