Fallback to ephemeral shell on "get" failure, too

Right now ipget
tries to connect to a local IPFS node and does a get
on the desired hash. If connecting to the local node fails, an ephemeral node is spawned. However, if the local node is connected to successfully but the get
fails due to the hash not being found, the code doesn't fall back to creating an ephemeral node.
This is usually fine, since the local node is generally connected to the Solar bootstrap nodes. However, in cases like ipfs running in --offline
mode, this won't be true. What is the expected behaviour?
