// PERS_FILE_XFER represents a "persistent file transfer",
// i.e. a long-term effort to upload or download a file.
// This may consist of several "episodes",
// which are HTTP operations to a particular server.
//
// The FILE_INFO has a list of URLs.
// For download, the object attempts to download the file
// from any of the URLs.
// If one fails or is not available, try another,
// using an exponential backoff policy to avoid flooding servers.
//
// For upload, try to upload the file to the first URL;
// if that fails try the others.

// a PERS_FILE_XFER is created and added to pers_file_xfer_set
// 1) when read from the client state file
//   in (FILE_INFO::parse(), CLIENT_STATE::parse_state_file()
// 2) when a FILE_INFO is ready to transfer
//   in CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers()

// a PERS_FILE_XFER p is removed from pers_file_xfer_set and freed
// 1) when p->pers_xfer_done is true
//   in CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers()

// A FILE_XFER is created and added to file_xfer_set and linked from PFX
// 1) in PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer()

// A FILE_XFER is erased from file_xfer_set, unlinked from PFX and freed
// 1) when the FILE_XFER is done, in
//   PERS_FILE_XFER::poll()
//   PERS_FILE_XFER::check_giveup()
// 2) user request, in
//   PERS_FILE_XFER::abort()
//   PERS_FILE_XFER::suspend()
// 3) if the FILE_XFER_SET::insert() fails
//   PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer()
// NOTE: when this is done, pers_xfer_done is set
//
// pointers:
// PERS_FILE_XFER -> FILE_XFER
//   set in PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer()
//    zeroed (see above)
// PERS_FILE_XFER -> FILE_INFO
//   set in PERS_FILE_XFER::init()
