[PATCH 02/54] Don't make failure to -nolisten fatal

If failing to disable a protocol specified by -nolisten failed, we'd
throw a FatalError and bomb startup entirely.  From poking at xtrans, it
looks like the only way we can get a failure here is because we've
specified a protocol name which doesn't exist, which probably doesn't
constitute a security risk.

And it makes it possible to start gdm even though you've built with
--disable-tcp-transport.
