files: ask the user whether to proceed every time a backup fails 

If the user answered "No" or "Cancel" the first time, they should
be allowed to answer "Yes" the next time -- possibly after fixing
the necessary permissions in another terminal.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58442.

Bug existed since version 2.3.0, commit 3d411188.
