    Repositories backed by hosting services could crash both the repository
    list in the administration UI and the repository configuration form.
    Assumptions were being made about whether a HostingService could be
    loaded, and this meant we weren't catching exceptions.

    The repository list now catches this case when trying to render the
    hosting service name, and falls back on showing the stored ID instead,
    along with a "(missing support)" suffix.

    The repository configuration form catches this in a couple of spots as
    well, allowing the form to load even if a hosting service can't.

    There are still problems that can occur with rendering information for
    SCMTools, due to the fact that they can be loaded from entrypoints, but
    those are beyond the scope of this change.

    Tested loading my repository list and config form while Power Pack was
    uninstalled. Saw that both pages successfully loaded, and that the
    affected repositories had the new suffix.

    Since you're here, mind adding a module docstring?
