Proposed solutions:
* Using a more stable method than cms_http_request (probably not possible)
* Using a similar iframe approach as the upgrader and processing each addon one by one, skipping over failed ones (would require passing POST urls and any uploaded data to the iframe; incredibly complex)
* Using an internalised screen to display progress, and process each addon one by one (would still break the process / fail if any one addon throws an error; would require complex changes to forms; would not be reasonable as pre-install info must be displayed)
* Accepting errors everywhere possible via attach_message (would require modifying a lot of functions to support this such as all the addon installing APIs)
* Implementing this in the upgrader instead (not reasonable for non-bundled maintenance)
