Log and exit on metadata update errors at startup

A bad system repo can cause lorax-composer to fail to start. Instead of
a traceback log the error and exit.

(note that the exit still results in an OSError traceback due to part of
it running as root, this needs to be addressed in another commit).

(cherry picked from commit b1dd22afa6)
