In #8 we added the ability to skip over connection failures (née `NetworkError`) but left authentication issues as a hard `abort()` since that's a different "class" of problem that felt like it should continue to fail-fast.

However, we should eventually update things to let users who know what they're doing opt-in to skipping over those as well, probably with a similar approach (use the exceptions-for machinery, and another setting that can be toggled at CLI or `fabric.env` level, so they can either catch an exception or set a flag.)
