 Build/Test Tools: Add a retry mechanism for tests that perform external
 HTTP requests.

 While the `skipTestOnTimeout()` method will catch a timeout and prevent it
 from causing a test to fail, other errors such as a failed DNS lookup or
 HTTPS handshake can still cause a test to unnecessarily fail. This
 introduces a simple retry mechanism that will hopefully further reduce the
 flakiness of tests that perform HTTP API requests.

 Fixes #62830
