App: Try Again also works when the server is up but its page failed to load

The button was accepted only while no server was known. If the server answered
and the page then failed to load, the error page showed with the server still
known, and the button did nothing. It's now accepted from the error page itself
(the window's only data: page).

+
+| Choice | What it's for |
+|---|---|
+| **Email me about Frame Control updates** | Occasional notices about new releases and updates |
+| **The maintainer may contact me with follow-up questions** | Questions about problem reports you send, mostly |
+
+You're asked once, in a bar at the top of the page, after the Frame has

+first-run privacy notice is showing. **No thanks** hides it for good, and it isn't
+shown again even if you ignore it. **Contact email** in **Privacy & updates**
+is where you add, change or remove the address and either choice at any time.
+
+**What's sent, and where.** The address and the two choices go privately to
+Frame Control's PostHog project, the same place as problem reports, as a
+`contact_consent` event with `email`, `updates`, `followup`, `action` (`set`
+or `withdraw`) and the common properties above. Only the maintainer can read
+that project, and nothing in it is published or shared. It's sent only when
+you save, whatever the analytics settings are, because you chose to. It
+carries its own random contact id, not the analytics id, so it isn't linked
+to your usage events, and a `rev` number that goes up with each change, so
+the newest choice always wins. Like everything else sent, it's listed under
+**Show what's been sent**. On this computer the address and choices are kept in

+log (in earlier contact events and problem reports), and sends a `withdraw`
+event with no address in it. The maintainer's list only uses the newest event from each copy, so from
+then on the address isn't listed for either choice. Unticking one choice
+works the same way for that choice. If you're offline, the change waits on

+stays in PostHog until its data retention removes it; to have it deleted

+
+The address and the choices are kept on this computer (frame_host.data_dir('contact')) and

+sends a new event under this copy's own random contact id (not the analytics id), numbered
+by `rev`, and the highest rev for an id is the one that counts, whatever the clocks say:
+removing the address sends a withdrawal with no address in it, and wipes the address from
+the local log of what was sent. The maintainer lists who agreed to what with
+`python3 ui/frame_report.py contacts`. Nothing here sends email.
+
+A change that can't be sent (offline) waits in the state file and is retried in the
