Title:
  whoopsie-upload-all waits for crash files to upload that have failed
  to upload

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  whoopise logs information about failed uploads to syslog e.g.:

  May 14 09:40:52 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Parsing /var/crash/_usr_bin_whoopsie-preferences.0.crash.
  May 14 09:40:52 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Uploading /var/crash/_usr_bin_whoopsie-preferences.0.crash.
  May 14 09:41:13 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Sent; server replied with: No error
  May 14 09:41:13 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Response code: 503
  May 14 09:41:13 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Server replied with:
  May 14 09:41:13 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: <html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1>#012No server is available to handle this request.#012</body></html>#012
  May 14 09:41:13 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[1665]: Could not upload; processing later (/var/crash/_usr_bin_whoopsie-preferences.0.crash).

  Here the report was uploaded but the core dump upload failed.
  whoopsie does not write a .uploaded files in this case and whoopsie-
  upload-all waits the full timeout period of 1800s although whoopsie is
  not making any further attempts to upload that core dump and there are
  no others to process. This seems inefficient.
