Remember why photos failed and report the pages without one

Browse Source 
Each run now writes .failures.json in the backup directory: the last
reason every photo failed and the wiki pages that use it, dropping any
photo that has since arrived. A new --report mode reads the wiki index
and that file and lists every page whose photo is not on disk, with the
reason or "not yet attempted", calling neither flickr nor immich. That is
what tells a wiki editor which photos have gone from flickr and need
replacing.

`.failures.json` records the last reason each photo failed, with the pages
that use it. A photo that later arrives drops out of it. `--report` reads the
wiki index and that file, and lists every page whose photo is not on disk
with the reason, or `not yet attempted`, without calling Flickr or Immich, so
it is the way to find photos that have gone from Flickr and need replacing
on the wiki.
