A failed backend sync was silently swallowed: the reply was never
inspected, so a sync that errored out left the wallet showing a
"syncing" state that never completed and never reported a problem.
- The sync and rescan replies are now parsed. On failure the partial
progress is saved and the sync is retried with exponential back-off
(5s doubling up to 60s, six attempts in all), then an explicit failed
state is published: done, sync not complete, and the backend's error
text carried through.
- A failed rescan is retried as a plain sync, because a rescan has
already cleared the wallet and re-running it would throw away the
partial progress just saved.
- A terminal error, such as a reorg deeper than the wallet can unwind,
stops the retries immediately instead of waiting out the attempts.
- Recovery is observed, not guessed: once a later refresh's server-bound
reads all succeed, the failed state clears itself.
Behaviour change: a sync failure now surfaces to the user as a failed
state with a message, instead of a frozen "syncing", and the client
retries on its own with back-off.
Tests: a parser case for the success, failure, and terminal replies, and
fake-backend controller cases for retrying after a failure, giving up
after the attempt cap, a terminal reorg stopping at once, a failed
rescan retrying as sync, cancel stopping the back-off, and the failed
state self-healing on a good refresh.
