[core] add try / catch on mode_helper loading (#3578)

When a library is missing on an 3rd party module, MM² stop loading and
display a black screen. (I'm sure it's happened to everyone.)

So, I have added a try/catch block and it's avoid black screen, display
errors and allow continue loading with next module
