[14_0_X] Ignore errors from alpaka::enqueue() in CachingAllocator::free()

[makortel]

PR description:

Backport of #44730. Original description

#44634 reported an HLT job failure caused by an illegal memory access on a GPU. The failure was reported as a crash instead of a caught exception because of a second exception being thrown from CachingAllocator<T>::free() by alpaka::enqueue() when objects using cached allocations were being deleted as part of the stack unwinding of the original exception.

The alpaka::enqueue() is used in CachingAllocator<T>::free() to "record" the alpaka Event in the Queue when the freed memory block is supposed to be recached. This PR changes the behavior such that if alpaka::enqueue() throws an exception, the memory block is treated as freed instead of recached.

I checked the alpaka Buffers, Queues, and Events that their destructors do not throw exceptions, but report any errors from the underlying APIs as printouts.
