Catch an error in wipe-cache

When an invalid DNSName is encountered, we do not wipe anything from the
cache.

Also update the manpage.

-:    Wipe entries for *DOMAIN* from the cache. This is useful if, for example,
-     an important server has a new IP address, but the TTL has not yet

-     Versions beyond 3.1 don't need the trailing dot. Consider not only

-     or target of CNAME may continue to be undesired.
