Refine history gap/termination signalling

Namely handling backends which do not provide a default "frame
size-duration" in their init-config by making the backfiller guess the
value based on the first frame received.

Deats,
- adjust `start_backfill()` to take a more explicit
  `def_frame_duration: Duration` expected to be unpacked from any
  backend hist init-config by the `tsdb_backfill()` caller which now
  also computes a value from the first received frame when the config
  section isn't provided.
- in `start_backfill()` we now always expect the `def_frame_duration`
  input and always decrement the query range by this value whenever
  a `NoData` is raised by the provider-backend paired with an explicit
  `log.warning()` about the handling.
- also relay any `DataUnavailable.args[0]` message from the provider
  in the handler.
- repair "gap reporting" which checks for expected frame duration vs.
  that received with much better humanized logging on the missing
  segment using `pendulum.Interval/Duration.in_words()` output.
