Right now, any kind of exception thrown inside LogDir::expire() will abort the
function. It gets caught in the general exception handling code and is
reported.

The problem is that the exception might be thrown each time we attempt to
remove old sessions, thus preventing any kind of automated removal of them. The
error reporting doesn't mention that.

One way to trigger such a situation is this:
- sync twice, without making changes
- in the first session, remove a ".after" dump
- continue syncing

This should lead to haveDifferentContent() failing to read the content of the
first session and an error message like:

Data modified locally during synchronization:
*** vcard30 ***
no changes

[ERROR]
/home/pohly/.cache/syncevolution/scheduleworld__1@client_+test_+1-2010-02-08-10-28/ical20.after:
No such file or directory

We should introduce some kind of exception handling in expire() and cope with
failures more gracefully. The exact kind of handling needs to be determined.
