Plugin needs to give-up on Importing if there is a large number of consecutive failures

Plugin needs to give-up on Importing if there is a large number of
consecutive failures.

If the API is available but for some reason the banners fail to download
(like it is now!) then we need to give up. Maybe after 10 failed downloads
is reached.

Otherwise it will take forever to finish an import.

i also noticed similar behaviour for ratings, tvdb was (partially) playing up 
and each series ratings had about a 20 second timeout, total import time was 
around 30 mins in this scenario, usually 2-3mins.

Yeah, we just need to count maybe 3 timeouts and then abort importer.

I have added an option cMaxConsecutiveDownloadErrors.
When Banner Downloads reach cMaxConsecutiveDownloadErrors value of failed 
downloads, it exits further downloads.

It is included in patch:

-downloading-of-missing-corrupt-artwork.113224/#post-924110

It would need UI option to set cMaxConsecutiveDownloadErrors in the database.

Took only artwork into account, not ratings.
