Summary: Fixes T5646. Makes diffusion a much better user experience. Users now see a 404 exception page when they have a bad URI. Previously, they saw a developer-facing raw exception.
Test Plan: played around in diffusion a bunch. most of these changes were fairly mechanical at the end of the day.

Summary:
Fixes T5926. Fixes T5830. Ref T4767. Users currently sometimes have a hard time understanding repository update frequencies. This is compounded by aggressive backoff and incorrect backoff while importing repositories.
- Don't back off while importing repositories. This prevents us from hanging at 99.99% for inactive repositories while waiting for the next update.
- Back off less aggressively in general, and even more gradually during the first 3 days. This should make behavior around weekends better.
- Show update frequency in the UI.
- Provide an explicit "update now" button to call `diffusion.looksoon` in a more user-friendly way.
- Document how backoff policies work and how to adjust behavior.
Test Plan:
- Ran `bin/phd debug pulllocal` and verified backoff worked correctly from debugging output.
- Clicked "Update Now" to get a hint, reloaded page to see it update.
- Read documentation.
