yarpdev silently fails if a .ini device manifest has a wrong library parameter

[traversaro]

It the .ini plugin manifest has a wrong library name, yarpdev --list silently skips that library without any warning. Having a little warning in this case would drastically help when developing new yarp devices.

I added some code to output a warning but then I get a lot of them (see output below). Does that sound plausible? Or did I miss something?

Can you push the code to a branch on your fork so we can check it? Thanks!

[bhigy]

Done

[drdanz]

What does yarp plugin report in this case?

[bhigy]

I tested the first ones and I get

Yes, this is a YARP plugin
    Cannot find or load shared library

So I guess it's working properly. :)

Fixed in e555015. Thanks @bhigy.
