[Open311] warn about send-comments errors if verbose flag set

Previously send-comments errors would only be printed the first time
they occurred so there was no visibility of ongoing errors. This brings
send-comments in line with send-reports by emitting errors if the script
is called with --verbose.

Fixes #2091
