app: api helpers report failure instead of returning an empty value (#736)
Six helpers turned a non-OK response into an empty value, so their
consumers rendered a server error as "nothing here":

* getConfigBackups -> {dates: []}: "No backups available for this
  config."  A thrown request also left "Loading backups..." forever.
* getInventoryBackups -> []: "No backups yet."
* getDownloaders -> {downloaders: []} on a throw, the error body on a
  non-OK response (which then crashed the .map): the RSS form's
  Downloader select sat empty.
* searchMap -> {results: []}: "No map locations found".
* getMapSearchStatus -> {indexed: [], missing: []}: "No maps are
  installed".
* flasherSearch -> [null, null], then `|| []`: "No .bin firmware
  found".

Invariants now enforced and tested:
* On a non-OK response each helper returns undefined; an empty value
  only ever comes from the server.
* Each consumer shows an error for a failed or thrown fetch and keeps
  its "none" message for a confirmed empty result.  The Downloader
  select is disabled and says it is loading or could not fetch.  A
  failed map status is unknown, never "no maps are installed".
* The map search tab loads from the first render, and a query shorter
  than the two characters the request needs now says so instead of
  "No map locations found".

Archive browsers and recent tags are left as they are: a failed fetch
there hides an optional picker or suggestion list without claiming
anything.
