Unsupported EPC schema versions are skipped with a warning, not a crash

An unrecognised schema_type used to raise ValueError and abort the whole
call; now from_api_response logs a warning and returns None so one
unmapped cert doesn't break a batch. Schema 15.0 already has a mapper
(PR #1531) so it's unaffected; only genuinely unmapped versions skip.
