From: Matthew G McGovern <mamcgove at microsoft.com>
Change to treat promiscuous enablement failures as nonfatal in the
client_mp/server_mp examples.
Some devices (mana) support promiscuous mode; but require
a cloud networking configuration change to enable it.
This change will allow examples/multi_process applications
to run in these environments.
