lib/repo-pull: Support retrying requests on transient network errors

Allow network requests to be re-queued if they failed with a transient
error, such as a socket timeout. Retry each request up to a limit
(default: 5), and only then fail the entire pull and propagate the error
to the caller.

Add a new ostree_repo_pull_with_options() option, n-network-retries, to
control the number of retries (including setting it back to the old
default of 0, if the caller wants).

Currently, retries are not supported for FetchDeltaSuperData requests,
as they are not queued. Once they are queued, adding support for retries
should be trivial. A FIXME comment has been left for this.
