    Correctly handle partial success in consensus diff calculation.
    
    Previously, if store_multiple() reported a partial success, we would
    store all the handles it gave us as if they had succeeded.  But it's
    possible for the diff to be only partially successful -- for
    example, if LZMA failed but the other compressors succeeded.
    
    Fixes bug 24086; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

+  o Minor bugfixes (directory cache):
+    - When a consensus diff calculation is only partially successful, only
+      record the successful parts as having succeeded. Partial success
+      can happen if (for example) one compression method fails but
+      the others succeed. Previously we misrecorded all the calculations as
+      having succeeded, which would later cause a nonfatal assertion failure.
