It returns a future, so converting an exception to an exceptional
future simplifies error handling in the caller.
Without this code like the one in
standard_role_manager::create_metadata_tables_if_missing has a
surprising behavior:
return when_all_succeed(
create_metadata_table_if_missing(...),
create_metadata_table_if_missing(...));
Since it might not wait for both futures. We could use the lambda
version of when_all_succeed, but changing
create_metadata_table_if_missing seems a nice API improvement.
