Add optional retry mechanism for failed tasks

[ahogappa]

What

Add optional retry functionality for tasks that may experience transient failures.

Goal

Users can configure tasks to automatically retry on failure, reducing the need for manual retry logic within individual tasks. This is useful for tasks that interact with external services that may have intermittent availability.

Approach

• Add opt-in retry configuration at the task class level or via run options
• Support configurable retry count and delay between retries
• Consider advanced options like exponential backoff and exception type filtering
• Ensure no retries by default to maintain current behavior
