CB-185: fix ambiguous-pane message and unreachable-daemon abort in probeOwner (review)

Lead review of PR #196 found two issues in CompositePeerLauncher.probeOwner:

1. The "more than one daemon claims this pane" throw kept the old
   pre-fix message ("no owning herdr daemon was recorded"), which was
   only true of the code it replaced. Reworded to say what actually
   happened: N configured herdr daemons report this pane, so it is
   genuinely ambiguous. Updated the one test pinning the old string.

2. probeOwner let list() propagate straight out of the probe loop, so
   one unreachable daemon aborted the whole probe and made a pane on a
   DIFFERENT, healthy daemon un-stoppable too — resurrecting the exact
   bug blocker 1 fixes. Now catches HerdrException per daemon, logs the
   exception class only, and treats that daemon as not knowing the pane
   so probing continues. New test proves this: verified it fails with
   the try/catch removed (HerdrException propagates and the stop that
   should succeed via the healthy daemon throws instead), then restored.

Full mvn clean install: 1019 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors.
