Automatically retry HTTP requests returning 5xx #4032

This commit implements auto-retry for downloading crates from crates.io whenever
a 5xx response is returned. This should help assist with automatic retries
whenever Cargo attempts to download directly from S3 but S3 returns a 500 error,
which is defined as "please retry again".

This logic may be a little eager to retry all 500 errors, but there's a
maximum cap on all retries regardless, so hopefully it doesn't result in too
many problems.

Closes #3962

This logic may be a little eager to retry *all* 500 errors, but there's a

I wish! Do you have thoughts on how do to do? Unfortunately I don't :(

Yep, nothing simple comes to mind :( We could roll mini dependency injection to substitute curl::Easy in tests with a stub, but that's too much work and no guarantee that it'll work with real S3.

There are reports that this didn't work as expected. Maybe we need to have a test.
