Don't fail to indent-sexp before a full sexp (Bug#31984)

* lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el (indent-sexp): Only signal error if the
initial forward-sexp fails.  Suppress scan-error forn any of the
forward-sexp calls after that.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode-tests.el (indent-sexp-cant-go): New
test.
