Summary

This lets the callback decide if it should actually run or not. I suspect that
most callbacks (and hooks) *should not* run in this scenario, but I'm trying
to not break any existing behavior. persistmanifestcache, however, seems
actively dangerous to run: we just encountered an exception and the repo is in
an unknown state (hopefully a consistent one due to transactions, but this is
not 100% guaranteed), and the data we cache may be based on this unknown
state.

This was observed by our users since we wrap some of the functions that
persistmanifestcache calls and it expects that the repo object is in a certain
state that we'd set up earlier. If the user hits ctrl-c before we establish
that state, we end up crashing there. I'm going to make that extension
resilient to this issue, but figured it might be a common issue and should be
handled here as well instead of just working around the issue.
