bugfix: drop --from an unavailable remote no longer updates the location log, incorrectly, to say the remote does not have the key.
The comments correctly noted that the remote could drop the key and yet False be returned due to some problem that occurred afterwards. For example, if it's a network remote, it could drop the key just as the network goes down, and so things timeout and a nonzero exit from ssh is propigated through and False returned. However... Most of the time, this scenario will not have happened. False will mean the remote was not available or could not drop the key at all. So, instead of assuming the worst, just trust the status we have. If we get it wrong, and the scenario above happened, our location log will think the remote has the key. But the remote's location log (assuming it has one) will know it dropped it, and the next sync will regain consistency. For a special remote, with no location log, our location log will be wrong, but this is no different than the situation where someone else dropped the key from the remote and we've not synced with them. The standard paranoia about not trusting the location log to be the last word about whether a remote has a key will save us from these situations. Ie, if we try to drop the file, we'll actively check the remote, and determine the inconsistency then.
