Don't kill managed proxy on method error

Some PT applications support more than one transport. For example,
obfs4proxy supports obfs4, obfs3, and meek. If one or more transports
specified in the torrc file are supported, we shouldn't kill the managed
proxy on a {C,S}METHOD-ERROR. Instead, we should log a warning.

We were already logging warnings on method errors. This change just
makes sure that the managed proxy isn't killed, and then if no
transports are configured for the managed proxy, bumps the log level up
from a notice to a warning.

Closes #7362
