(Idea/bug?) sys.xfer_upgrade_from takes GC on loaded upgrades

At the moment, when attempting to xfer loaded upgrades with sys.xfer_upgrade_from, it still takes the 25BGC fee. This behaviour seems unintended (some other failures such as the target sys not being breached don't take GC) and it can be a pain to lose 25BGC while getting nothing from a small mistake.

I think this is so that you have to actually expose upgrades to take everything not loaded; if it just failed silently you could just try to steal 0, if it failed, steal 1, if it failed, steal 2 etc, until it works; then keep stealing the same index until it fails and then increase the index again. This way you have to actually expose or pay a lot extra.
Then again, i think xfer_gc_from doesn't take the xfer cost if you ask for too much GC, so IDK.

yea, i deffo see a possible reason for it, but it's inconstant with other trust scripts, 25BGC is too much of a penalty for something like that anyway imo

I'd be satisfied with 'baseline expose_upgrades' cost at that tier. So there's still a penalty, but not that much. Problem is, this was not only a design choice for what dtr mentioned but also an implementation detail to improve performance & prevent race conditions, etc. I'll definitely think through all this stuff again when I come back to this issue.
