Remove Admin's swallowing of AttributeError (#16655, #18593, #18747)

During the new-admin changes, catching of AttributeError was added to
the admin.  This patch removes that as it's no longer possible to add a
value to a ModelAdmin that is not available.  Adding an attribute that
can not be called causes an ImproperlyConfigured exception to be raised.
