Issue 1906 note 29, the leftover of #60's review: staleAsks removed a stale hold or restore ask and then cleared its held condition; when that clear failed at the router, the ask was already gone, so no pass reached that fingerprint again and its condition stayed raised until a restart.
Now clearHeld says whether the clear was said (now, before, or no router), and staleAsks clears first and removes the ask only when it was; a failed clear leaves the ask in the bucket, which is the retry: the next pass clears and removes it. No new state.
Test: a subtest of TestAsksOfAFingerprintTheTrunkLeftBehindAreTakenAway (a say that fails once, then the next pass clears and removes); fails on main. Try try-1793008995438723400 passed (2m46s).
