Ignore dial error in dbtest after stopping server. (globalsign#122)

* Ignore dial error when server is stopped. related to globalsign#117

* Print dbtest server starting error before panic.

As seen in globalsign#117, dbtest start() throws a panic when it can't start mongo.
This panic is picked up by a panichandler obscuring the actual problem.
This PR simply prints the error start() encounters to stderr, before throwing the panic.
