assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not available, or are not referenced by the current git tree.
This is motivated by a user report that the assistant was repeatedly
retrying transfers of files that had been deleted (in direct mode, so
removing the only copy).
Note that the glacier code retries failed transfers after a while to retry
downloads that have aged long enough to be available. This is ok; if we're
doing a full transfer scan we'll retry on every file that is still in the
git tree.
Also note that this makes the assistant less likely to get every file
referenced by old revs of the git tree. Not something the assistant tries
to ensure anyway, so I feel this is acceptable.
