Give better error when fpga not found in `fpga_config`

When you use an FPGA name string not found in fpga_config
, the current error message is something like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/xchoo/.conda/envs/nengo-fpga/lib/python3.6/configparser.py", line 1138, in _unify_values
sectiondict = self._sections[section]
KeyError: 'de112'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "nengo_fpga/dna_extractor.py", line 246, in <module>
fpga.connect()
File "nengo_fpga/dna_extractor.py", line 164, in connect
fpga_config.get(self.fpga_name, 'ip'), flush=True)
File "/home/xchoo/.conda/envs/nengo-fpga/lib/python3.6/configparser.py", line 781, in get
d = self._unify_values(section, vars)
File "/home/xchoo/.conda/envs/nengo-fpga/lib/python3.6/configparser.py", line 1141, in _unify_values
raise NoSectionError(section)
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'de112'
This can be better handled with better error messaging.

We decided not to throw an error, but instead throw a warning and run without the FPGA.
