🦟 Bug fix

Fixes #2903

Summary

This PR fixes issue #2903 and prevents the server from segfaulting if the plugin fails to load correctly. It prints an error that the plugin was misconfigured and continues executing ahead.

At some point we should revisit our plugin loading interface. A lot of work is placed in the developers hands to understand internals of gazebo's lifecycle. For starters, we should try to call Configure after the entities are created. It'd also be nice to be able to return an error during Configure and just not care about executing the plugin in the future. I'll open a ticket outlining how we can go about doing this with minimal interruptions to out currently existing codebase.
