Title: Suppress error message during failed UmfpackContext import 

This message was caused by a bug in scipy that was fixed by @tonysyu after 0.12. Since we probably don't want to bump up the scipy requirement that high, this is probably a useful thing to do for scikit-image users.

@JDWarner proposes that we use the priority pyamg -> umf -> brute force for random walker. I'll let others decide whether we want that in this release. But I think suppressing the error message at least is a very nice thing to include.
