Record failed transfers and modify the history page to show them correctly

[seanlinsley]

People who depend on the money they receive on Gittip are rightfully concerned whenever their receiving amount suddenly jumps down after payday. We know that's because of CC failures, but they don't. We should update the history page to show the number of people that have a tip set up for them, but didn't tip anything because their CC failed. This should be shown for each individual payday, though I'm not sure we have that historical data.

Q: how should the wording change to accomidate people who fund their account with something else, like Bitcoin? Perhaps say that they had "insufficient funds"?

We've certainly discussed backfilling these failed charges after the credit card is updated. Can someone link me to that discussion, because I can't find it.

@seanlinsley - AFAIK the only ticket that mentions retrying a failed CC is #1637. #2779 might be the one that you're thinking about, but that only involves filling the previous status values.
