Saving a draft of a file crashes the watcher #95
Description
Describe the bug
If you save a draft of a file that does not yet contain all parts, the watcher crashes.
To Reproduce
mkdir test_dir
cd test_dir
cat > foo.md <<'EOF'
``` {.toml file=foo.toml}
<<foo_contents>>
```
EOF
entangled watch
Observed behaviour:
entangled watch terminates with an error message:
[11:26:07] INFO Welcome to Entangled v2.4.2!
INFO Tangling.
ERROR foo.md:1: Missing reference `foo_contents`
$
Expected behavior
entagled watch should tangle all files in the directory, print a warning and continue watching.

I made a fix that catches the error and continue running. In the current architecture it is not so simple to tangle the files that do work. The philosophy being that transactions should be good before execution.
