Mind that BroadcastChannel contructor can throw in Firefox

BroadcastChannel constructor throws in Firefox when Enhanced
Tracking Protection is set to "strict".

This behavior could cause scriptlet injection to wholly break
when uBO's logger was opened, as BroadcastChannel() is used
by scriptlets to report information to the logger.

This commit ensures that exceptions from BroadcastChannel
constructor are properly handled.

The scriptlets will fall back to report at the console should
they be unable to report to the logger through BroadcastChannel.
