#11862: If we have past reports where publishing failed, get them to the collector

 Once #11860 is done, we might end up in the state where some reports are
 on disk and haven't been successfully sent.

 Somehow in the course of normal operation ooni should notice that such
 reports exist, and send them.

 Should we check for this state when we connect to a collector ("oh hey, we
 connected, is there anything on disk that we want to tell the collector
 also")? Should we check on startup for any tests? Should we have a
 separate script that runs periodically to flush old reports?

 That last one sounds wisest to me, but I haven't thought through all the
 issues.
