[PATCH v2] Remove seemingly unused exception handling from setup.py.

[Ben Sturmfels]

Hi Chris,

Do you see any issues with removing the below exception handling in
MediaGoblin's setup.py? The comments are a bit vague as to the
circumstances when this exception handling is relevant.

I've tried installing with the following commands without hitting any
issues:

  `bin/python setup.py install`

and

  `bin/python -m pip install .`

Regards,
Ben
