xcecli_joblist/reslist/workerlist/resval/jobinfo return a non-negative ROW
COUNT on success (rc = getreply.nrows), not a 0/status code. They were
wrapped in XCECLI_FAILOVER_CALL, which unconditionally classifies the raw
return value against fixed constants (E_XCE_* and POSIX errno magnitudes
accepted in either sign) — a row count that happens to equal one of those
constants (e.g. exactly 111 jobs == ECONNREFUSED) was silently
misclassified as a transport failure, forcing a spurious
xce_failover_rotate() on every call with that exact count. In
/xce-test-ha's arithmetic progression (3 + 3*round) this hit at round 36,
burning the retry budget on self-inflicted churn until it coincided with
a genuine transient and surfaced a real ECONNRESET to the caller.
Add XCECLI_FAILOVER_CALL_COUNT: only enters the retry/classify loop when
EXPR's raw result is negative; any non-negative result (0 or a genuine
row count of any magnitude) is unconditionally success. Switch the five
xce_get-family wrappers to it. Verified via 40-round sequential and
40-round chaotic HA soak past round 36, zero committed-job loss.
