Rudder

On any version of Rudder, if a user in xml is missing an attribute, this is not a problem.

You already get a logger error or warning when a field is missing or not correct, and the user is ignored.

However is the XML is not valid at all, and exception is thrown. And we should add a correct message, easy to read, that would b esend to core log (/var/log/rudder/core).

My proposition is:

[2013-10-22 17:26:54] ERROR application - Rudder user xml: An error occured while parsing the users xml file, and you won't be able to connect to Rudder webapp until you correct it.
[2013-10-22 17:26:54] ERROR application - Rudder user xml: XML file is not correct, error message is: Le type d'élément "user" doit se terminer par la balise de fin correspondante "</user>". (line 105, column 3)

instead of
