Don't access broken service mgr during bootstrap failure

...so that displaying a (non-translated) error box upon BE_UNO_SERVICEMANAGER
works after all.  Augment the error text with an exception message where
appropriate.  This allows to revert fdfb7a3c4b3a89b73ab5546b9620348bc4984d8f
"Related fdo#51252: Report uncaught exceptions with MessageBox on Windows" as
that was to catch and display failures from instantiating the service mgr.
