report transient errors as transient errors
The Fail method for acquire methods has a boolean parameter indicating the transient-nature of a reported error. The problem with this is that Fail is called very late at a point where it is no longer easily identifiable if an error is indeed transient or not, so some calls were and some weren't and the acquire system would later mostly ignore the transient flag and guess by using the FailReason instead. Introducing a tri-state enum we can pass the information about fatal or transient errors through the callstack to generate the correct fails.
