Subject: [PATCH] fix: fatal error on servers with broken FTP filesystem
 configuration

On some server setups (e.g. nginx with FTP configured but no active
connection), WordPress initializes its FTP filesystem driver but fails
when it tries to use it, throwing a PHP fatal error that crashes the
page. Wrap the filesystem calls in a try/catch so any such failure
falls back to the bundled customization.js gracefully.
