Do not trust the API's 'posts' and 'liked_count' fields #209

These fields are incorrect in cases such as private posts changed to public, and this leads to missed posts when backing up blogs.

For example, create a blog with one private post and one public one, then publish the private post. tumblr_backup.py will only download 1 post without this patch.

This change also skips only a single post rather than an entire batch upon parse failures, in a further attempt to avoid dropping posts unnecessarily.

I've rewritten the logic as suggested.
