Count a file a backup could not store as failed (closes #280 )

A file that phase 1 of a backup counted and phase 2 could not open, because it was unreadable under --skip-errors or removed in between, was added to the unchanged count while its size stayed in BytesScanned. The summary showed it as unchanged with its bytes backed up, and the snapshots row's file_count and total_size included it. The scanner now counts such a file in FilesFailed and takes its size out of BytesScanned. The summary's files line adds "N failed", and file_count leaves the file out. A directory phase 2 cannot record is not counted as failed, since phase 1 counts no directories; that case has no test. Model: opus-5-5

 # Completed Steps

- 2026-10-13: Made a failed or interrupted backup remove the temporary
-  file of the blob it was packing
-  ([issue #302](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/302)). When
-  `snapshot create` stopped on a file error, a full temporary directory
-  or Ctrl-C, that blob was never finalized and its `vaultik-blob-*.tmp`
-  file, up to `blob_size_limit` of encrypted data, stayed in `$TMPDIR`;
-  every such run left another. Phase 2 now removes it whenever it stops
-  before the last blob is finalized.
-
- 2026-10-12: Bound the local index to the destination an `s3.*` config
-  names ([issue #298](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/298)).
-  Only `storage_url` was checked, so after `s3.bucket` or `s3.prefix`
-  changed, the next backup treated every chunk as already stored,
-  uploaded nothing, and completed a snapshot that could not be restored.
-  Without `storage_url`, the local index is now bound to `s3.endpoint`,
-  `s3.bucket` and `s3.prefix`, and a change is refused as a changed
-  `storage_url` is.
-
- 2026-10-12: Rejected a retention duration longer than about 292 years
-  ([issue #289](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/289)). The
-  number given to `--older-than` or `--keep-newer-than` was multiplied
-  by the length of its unit with no limit, so from `293y`, `15251w`,
-  `3559mo` or `106752d`, or a sum of parts such as `200y200y`, the
-  result wrapped to a negative duration. The cutoff then lay in the
-  future, every snapshot of the name was deleted, the one just made
-  included, and the command exited 0. Such a duration is now rejected
-  as invalid and nothing is deleted.
-
- 2026-10-08: Made a backup cancelled under `--skip-errors` stop at once
-  ([issue #286](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/286)). After
-  Ctrl-C or SIGTERM, phase 2 treated the cancellation error from each
-  remaining file like an unreadable file: it opened the file, printed an
-  error line for it, counted it as failed and went on to the next one.
-  The run now stops at the first file after the cancellation, and no
-  file is counted as failed because of it.
-
- 2026-10-08: Made `remote nuke` delete the `.partial` files that
-  uploads cut off part-way leave on the destination store
-  ([issue #281](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/281)). The
-  file and rclone listings skip such a file, so the command left it in
-  place and still reported the store empty. It now removes them under
-  `metadata/` and `blobs/` as its last step.
-
- 2026-10-08: Made a local index error while recording a directory or
-  symlink stop a backup under `--skip-errors`
-  ([issue #284](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/284)). Phase 2
-  only records such an entry in the local index, since it has no data
-  to open or read, but an error doing so was skipped like an unreadable
-  file. The snapshot then completed without the entry, and a restore
-  did not recreate it. The error now stops the backup, as it does
-  without the flag.
-
 - 2026-10-08: Counted a file that a backup could not store as failed
  ([issue #280](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/280)). A file
