core: Add an option to suppress error reporting (#1179)

Error reporting currently takes place for each error. This can result
in many error messages if a server has connectivity issues (i.e. when
it re-connects to the internet every 24 hours).

This commit adds a new option to the configuration file to define the
number of error reports to suppress before returning an error message
to the user.

Error reports are cached and therefore automatically purged after 24
hours. A successful bridge request does **not** clear the error count
as sporadic issues can be the result of actual problems on the server.

The implementation currently makes no assumption on the type of error,
which means it also suppresses bridge errors in debug mode. The default
value is, however, set to 1 which means all errors are reported.
