AssetPublisher is imported without configuration in case of an Exception during export/import operation.

Root cause of the issue:

• A try...catch of any Exception was added during portlet staging data handlers modularization to osgi (see LPS-56496)
• In 6.x there was no try...catch there

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new site
2. Activate local staging
3. Go to Staging environment:
4. Create a page and add an Asset Publisher
5. Publish to live
6. Execute select * from Group_ where liveGroupid <> 0 and get the staging groupId of your site
7. Execute following SQL update in order to cause an Exception. Note: replace <<GROUPID>> with your staging groupId

   update set preferences='<portlet-preferences><preference><name>anyAssetType</name><value>99999999999999999</value></preference></portlet-preferences>' 
   where plid in (select plid from Layout where groupId = <<GROUPID>>)
   and portletId like 'com_liferay_asset_publisher_web_portlet_AssetPublisherPortlet_INSTANCE_%'

8. Go to Control Panel => Configuration => Server Administration => Resources and clear all Liferay caches
9. Go to Staging and try publishing to Live:
   • Expected behavior: An error is produced and Asset Publisher changes are not published to live
   • Wrong behavior: A warn trace is written to log and changes are published to live
