Avoid erroring from tracing #424

Open

Description

A user reported a weird condition in which pluggy tracing was making their code fail after we enabled tracing because one of the local objects didn't have a working __repr__ (a scikit-learn object from a very old version). Details: kedro-org/kedro#2630

We gave the user a workaround and also it's reasonable to expect that objects have a working __repr__, but it would be nice if there was a generous try ... except around the tracing messages so that errors there don't bubble up. Essentially the same that happens with logging:

>>> try:
...   logging.warning("Will fail: %d", "a")
...   logging.warning("But the show must go on")
... except:
...   logging.error("Oh no")
... else:
...   logging.warning("Everything is fine")
...
