Handle AJAX errors when updating content

With the change in implementation in the previous commit, any error
(eg server responds with `500`) would cause the page to not be updated
again.

This is better than the previous implementation, whereby the browser
would re-request as fast as it could until it got a successful response.

This commit handles errors by clearing the render queue if the server
returns an error. So:

- Any updates that would have been performed based on this request are
  dropped
- Subsequent updates will be attempted as if it was the first load of
  the page, ie after a delay of `x` seconds
