Description
we should have the normal abort/retry button if a file transfer fails. pretty sure we used to have this.
### Steps to reproduce
* Be on bad connectivity (e.g. network conditioner)
* Try to upload a file
* Kill the connectivity entirely
* Note that the file transfer fails with "failed to upload"
* Look for a "retry unsent messages" button, which used to exist, but no longer exists (but only for file transfers).
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
File transfers should get queued and retried under bad connectivity, just as normal messages do.
#### What happened instead?
The file is silently discarded and the user has to manually set up the upload again when they think they might have better connectivity.
