locksmithctl/locksmithcl: fix endpoints resilience

with the recent etcd upgrade (1b5eb50),
the endpoints resilience were not ensured -> having failing endpoints
would make the `locksmithcl` commands fail.

in this commit, we patch the software (and not the vendor), to reproduce
a kind of resilience: we loop over the endpoints - if one of them is not
reachable we continue to the over.
this patch can be reverted once the upgrade to etcd/v3 will be done.
