Bug 1429657

The change requested here is to have the command fail immediately, and leave the existing identity in place, if the request to unregister from Candlepin fails due to a connection error. It is acceptable for the unregister request to candlepin to fail for any reason other than unable to connect.

When network is down on server , subscription-manager register --force doesnot unregister, so moving bug to verified
