Refactor file transfer handling in tailscale-send.sh to improve reliability and user feedback.

- Implemented background processing for file transfers to allow for better detection of transfer status.
- Enhanced error handling to differentiate between transfer initiation and completion, providing clearer messages for success and failure.
- Updated user guidance for permission issues during file transfers.
