Stop throwing in destructors

When exception processing is unwinding the stack, any exception thrown
in destructors end up std::terminate()-in our process.

Since all workarounds to report errors from destructors seems an
overkill, and the only important place where we should notify the user
about a failure is the stdex::stream::cache::~cache() (data loss occurs
when failure happens here), and if we'd throw in stdex::stream::cache::
~cache(), our process would get terminated anyway so the data loss is
inevitable, let's just silence this for now and come up with a better
solution later if we get smarter anytime in the future.
