Constant FTP Connections in plugin pages about boldgrid-backup HOT 2 CLOSED

When testing, I was able to replicate. When FTP is setup, logins are made on the following dashboard pages:

• BoldGrid Backup > Backup Archives
• BoldGrid Backup > Settings > Backup Storage
• BoldGrid Backup > Backup Archive Details

I was unable to replicate ftp logins always happening on the following pages:

• BoldGrid Backup > Preflight Check
• BoldGrid Backup > Tools

On the Settings page, BoldGrid Backup lists "FTP / SFTP" as a backup storage option. it needs to know if:

1. The checkbox for "FTP / SFTP" should be checked, and
2. If it should say "Configured", or provide a link for the user to configure.

If the remote storage provider "is setup", then it shows the user that it is "Configured". To determine if ftp is setup, we attempt to connect and login to the ftp server: https://github.com/BoldGrid/boldgrid-backup/blob/master/admin/remote/class-boldgrid-backup-admin-ftp.php#L689-L705

To prevent the "connect and login" test on each page load, we can cache the info. If the user logged in within the last x hours, no need to check.

Testing instructions:

1. Setup ftp within the backup plugin
2. Access the settings pages of the boldgrid backup plugin 3 or 4 times. The first time, it may login to your ftp server, but subsequent visits to the settings page should not log in to your ftp server.

How do you know if your ftp server is being logged into? Either review the logs from the command line or do something like this: https://gist.github.com/bwmarkle/adf029731c176e10f01627b73d43d736
