The Black Keys' Ohio Players was grabbed 40 times in a day. FabledExchange
already held the torrent under another category from before Minstrel took
the downloads over: the add answered "duplicate", which counted as added,
and Exchange's listing, filtered to Minstrel's category, never showed it.
Half an hour later the grab ended gone, and the next pass took it again.
- A duplicate add that the client does not list for Minstrel is not a
grab: the release is held back for a day with the client's own reason
(already downloading X (category)), and the search moves on. Forced,
it is refused with that reason.
- A release that ends gone a second time within a week is held back for
a day, whatever the cause.
- release_blocks gains the reason 'gone' (migration 0098), shown as
"Held back: its download client lost track of it".

Ported from Fabled Librarian's System 104. A new lifecycle poller, every
ten minutes:
- a download the client fails is given up at once;
- one nobody shares, or still fetching its file list, past the stall
setting (6 h) is asked for again three times, then given up;
- giving up removes the download with its files, holds the release back
for a week (release_blocks.expires_at), ends the grab and searches the
album again, with no limit per album;
- a running download the client stops listing for half an hour ends and is
searched again, not held back; an empty list is not taken as gone;
- an imported download seeds to ratio 2.0 or 14 days, then is removed;
- a download the client would not remove is asked again every pass.
Every condition and act is one open row per (client, download, condition)
in download_interventions. Activity shows what is wrong with a download and
how often it was retried, why one ended, its seeding, and a banner for a
client that does not answer. A running download can be given up by hand
(set aside for good). The seed ratio, seed days and stall hours are on the
search settings card. The download client lookup moves to
acquire.DownloadClientFor, shared by the importer and the lifecycle.
