#919: hackage-mirror should handle errors more gracefully

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
hackage-mirror against hackage.haskell.org fails with,
{{{
$ hackage-mirror http://hackage.haskell.org/
http://bgamari:xxx@localhost:8080/
17816 packages to mirror.
mirroring PlslTools-0.0.1
hackage-mirror: Failed to upload package PlslTools-0.0.1,
HTTP error code 400, Bad Request

short tar trailer
}}}
While the source of the error is unclear, it's a sign that the error
handling should be more robust. Perhaps failing packages should be skipped
until it's very clear that something is horribly wrong (e.g. a heuristic
like 10 packages fail in a row)?
