- Retry Calibre metadata update when it fails due to conflicting program(Windows File Explorer)

Don't if anyone else has seen it lately, but I've continued to bump into the problem where Calibre's metadata update fails simply because Window File Explorer is also open. Not open in the library, just open to some random dir(s) else where on disk.

To the best of my knowledge, Kovid ruled this the correct behavior.

I've added a retry to FFF on metadata update failure that first warns you:
"FanFicFare will try to update metadata again once. Close any interfering programs (such as Windows File Explorer) before closing this dialog."
