I'm changing all the upload programs so that they
don't stop after the first error.  The programs retain
the property that the db is not changed if there are
any errors at all.

So, you can get more than one error when uploading
one file.  Some of the errors may be "false positives"
though because whatever data causes the error is ignored
so if later lines depend on earlier lines for correctness
then a single error in a line early in the uploaded
file can result in multiple errors.

I'm also standardizing the error messages a bit.

And I fixed a bug where the program was not properly
detecting successful uploads of the same file twice
in a row.
