Stop reading dates at the first sign the server is unreachable

Browse Source

A window of cells whose thumbnails were cached but whose dates were not
sent a header read per cell, and offline each one was three attempts at
a 15 s connect timeout: `is_transient` counts a network error as worth
retrying, and `read_metadata_only` returned a bare bool that could not
say why a read failed. So the grid sat on "reading N dates" for minutes
against a server that was not there, and no banner went up, because
nothing in that loop ever reported the connection.

`read_metadata_only` now returns a `DateRead`: reached, failed, or
offline. An offline error is returned on the first attempt rather than
retried — a dead server answers the second exactly as the first — while
a 423 lock is still retried, which is what the retry was for. The grid's
worker stops on it and sends `Offline`, as its fetch loop already did,
so the banner goes up and the bar stops. The sweep's lanes stop on it
too, one timeout each rather than one per image.
