Build/Test Tools: Add a retry mechanism for tests that perform extern…

…al 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
