Intent to add remote logging capabilities

[mkhorton]

We've having a lot of different users have VASP jobs fail for various reasons, and we'd like the capability to be able to aggregate Custodian errors so that we can more easily tell if there are errors that are occurring more often than would be expected (that is, that they reflect an underlying weakness in our input sets or error handlers, rather than user error).

I'd like to propose we integrate Sentry support via their Python client.

By default, this will result in no change to Custodian by default, except an additional optional dependency. However, if you set a SENTRY_DSN environment variable, we can set it up to log and aggregate errors automatically.

If there are no objections to this, I will go ahead and implement.

I think a similar addition to log stack traces in FireWorks when jobs fizzle might also be useful.

No objections.
