arc2box buttons to clear exception

[Paul Everitt]

Sometimes the archiving process generates an exception, putting the community in the exception state. After that, it requires manual resetting before it can be tried again.

So we need a button that will perform the work that we do manually. This of course means:

- An operation in the JSON API

- Something in the Angular frontend (which I'll need to do)

On the whole, figuring out and fixing these exception is probably more important.

Note that today's work will indirectly fix this one.

This was fixed adding new resume and stop buttons to the exception state.

Is this all ready to test on staging, including fixes for the problems generating the exceptions?

Yes. There are fixes for the most common exceptions that we found, but seems like a JSON error now and then caused by a bad interaction with box can't be avoided. That's where resume comes in handy.

The resume button is handier than a clear exception button.
