JobStatusLite should retry condor removal
Found some jobs pending in vocms0254 for 800k secs, thus beyond the default value for pending.
Looking at the logs, I see things like
```

```

where job_1 is:
3595.4  1  811044 /data/srv/wmagent/v1.1.18.patch2/install/wmagent/JobCreator/JobCache/prebello_Run2018B-v1-MuonEG-17Sep2018_1024p1_181005_214256_4615/DataProcessing/JobCollection_1_0/job_1/condor.3595.4.log T2_PL_Swierk


The expected behaviour would be:
1. condor_rm those jobs
2. check if condor fail to remove any of them,
3. if not, persist that info in the database
4. if it fail, then skip these jobs from any updates on the database
