This commit introduces a resilient, configurable retry mechanism for network requests.
Key changes include:
- A new `pkg/retry` package with a custom `http.Transport` that implements exponential backoff and jitter.
- Integration of the retry transport into the `website`, `pwa`, and `github` packages to handle transient network failures gracefully.
- New persistent CLI flags (`--retries`, `--retry-backoff`, `--retry-max`, `--retry-jitter`, `--no-retry`) to allow user configuration of the retry behavior.
- The flag-handling logic has been moved to a `PersistentPreRun` function to ensure user-provided values are parsed correctly.
- A basic retry mechanism has been added to the `vcs` package for git clone operations.
- Added unit tests for the retry transport.
This work is in progress, with the next steps being to implement support for the `Retry-After` header and unify the VCS retry logic with the global configuration.
