Beginning a file transfer multiple times leaks file handles. Add some debugging and guarding to detect and avoid that. This is only part of the full fix (mostly to help bring attention to the problem) The real problem is that in the MSN prpl (and possibly others), file transfers are started multiple times. This happens for every file transfer over MSN that I've tested. Refs #12660
