[Bug 1205374] Re: Only attempts to retry the existing crash reports once, after two hours.

[Evan Dandrea]

** Description changed:

  process_existing_files is supposed to fire every two hours. However,
  because the function doesn't return a boolean value, glib stops
  processing the two hour timeout event after the first run.
  
  TEST CASE:
  
  Terminal 1:
  sudo stop whoopsie
- sudo CRASH_DB_URL=http://nowhereville whoopsie -f
+ sudo CRASH_DB_URL=http://localhost:6666 whoopsie -f
  
  Terminal 2:
  bash -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
  touch /var/crash/_bin_bash.1000.upload
  
  Every two hours there should be an attempt to upload the crash report in
  Terminal 1.
