Comment (by desrosj):

 I rethought this today and have made the following decisions that
 @johnbillion agreed with in our Slack conversation.
 [attachment:"50448.3.diff"] reflects the changes below.

 - Instead of tracking the time of a failure, let's mirror the approach
 core takes to tracking when emails go out. Now, only one failure email
 will go out per plugin per version. If a failure occurs trying to update
 to 2.0, a new failure email will not be generated for this plugin until
 the version is different (2.1, for example).
 - If other update events occur, then all information will be included,
 even if the failure had already been communicated in an email.

 I think this is the best approach for 5.5, and we can iterate as we find
 edge cases. Failures ''should'' be relatively rare. The only scenario I
 see this being a problem is when a plugin or theme pushes out frequent
 updates (daily or multiple times weekly). But I'm not sure that is a
 common practice.
