fix: harden recoverable-error handling so the sync self-heals

Make the native discover->reconcile->upload loop self-heal on recoverable errors
instead of wedging or aborting the whole run (complements the token-wedge fix opencloud-eu#955):

- classifyError: a transient network/timeout on one file is now a per-file
  NormalError + another-pass, not FatalError -> propagator()->abort() (which
  aborts the ENTIRE run on a single blip over a long, multi-day sync). Genuinely
  fatal cases (TLS handshake, proxy auth, redirects) keep FatalError.
- TUS resume: a 409 Upload-Offset mismatch (opencloud-eu#898) now routes through the existing
  HEAD-offset-recovery path and resumes from the server's canonical offset,
  instead of wedging in commonErrorHandling. classifyError also maps 409 to a
  recoverable SoftError + another-pass.
- test/testclassifyerror.cpp: regression coverage (bug-bites verified).

Fixes opencloud-eu#898
