Log Message:

Handle unhandled exceptions in SynSuck worker via delay()

When LJ::SynSuck::update_feed() dies with an unhandled exception (e.g. "Hour '24' out of range"), the normal delay() call is never reached, so checknext is never updated. The scheduler immediately re-enqueues the same feed, creating a tight infinite retry loop.

Now the worker catches the exception, calls delay() to push checknext 6 hours into the future with laststatus='exception', and returns COMPLETED. This matches how every other error path in SynSuck already works and is better than the old TheSchwartz behavior (which retried 3 times over 90 minutes then silently gave up without updating checknext or laststatus).
