Fix AssertionError when og property not found

On tvp.pl some webpages contain OpenGraph
metadata and some don't.

If og property is not found, _og_search_description
fails with

WARNING: unable to extract OpenGraph description; please report this issue on http://yt-dl.org/bug
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError

The patch allows me to use:

  try:
    info['description'] = self._og_search_description(webpage)
    info['thumbnail'] = self._og_search_thumbnail(webpage)
  except RegexNotFoundError:
    pass
