An Endless OS system was found in the wild with a malformed .local/share/gnome-shell/notifications which causes _loadNotifications() to raise an exception. This exception was not previously handled and bubbles all the way out to gnome_shell_plugin_start(), whereupon the shell exit(1)s. The user could no longer log into their computer. Handle exceptions from _loadNotifications(), log them, and attempt to continue. Ensure that this._isLoading is set to 'false' even on error, so that future calls to _saveNotifications() can overwrite the (corrupt) state file. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1552
