en	Fixed problems

en	- Fix some failures while unlocking the Persistent Storage. ([[!tails_ticket 19728]])

en	Sometimes, *upgrading* the cryptographic parameters of the Persistent Storage was taking too long and made *unlocking* the Persistent Storage fail. We allowed the *upgrade* to take more time before reporting a failure.

en	Please keep reporting errors using [[*WhisperBack*|doc/first_steps/whisperback]] if you have problems unlocking your Persistent Storage.

en	Fix the circuit view of *Tor Browser* that was sometimes not displayed. ([[!tails_ticket 19897]])
