feat(http): add retry support

[robmorgan]

HTTP Retry Functionality

InfraSpec now supports retrying HTTP requests until the response contains expected content. This is useful for handling eventual consistency, temporary failures, or waiting for services to become available.

Usage

Basic Retry with Default Values

Given I have a HTTP endpoint at "http://localhost:8000/status"
When I retry the HTTP request until the response contains "ready"
Then the HTTP response status should be 200

This uses default values:

• Max retries: 5
• Timeout: 30 seconds
• Sleep between retries: 1 second

Custom Retry Configuration

Given I have a HTTP endpoint at "http://localhost:8000/api/data"
When I retry the HTTP request until the response contains "processed" with max 10 retries and a 60 second timeout
Then the HTTP response should contain "data_id"

With Authentication

Given I have a HTTP endpoint at "http://localhost:8000/health"
And I set basic auth credentials with username "admin" and password "secret"
When I retry the HTTP request until the response contains "healthy" with max 5 retries and a 30 second timeout
Then the HTTP response status should be 200

With Bearer Token

Given I have a HTTP endpoint at "http://localhost:8000/api/data"
And I am authenticated with a valid bearer token
When I retry the HTTP request until the response contains "processed"
Then the HTTP response should contain "data_id"

With POST Request and Body

Given I have a HTTP endpoint at "http://localhost:8000/jobs"
And I set the headers to
  | Name         | Value            |
  | Content-Type | application/json |
And I set the request body to "{\"job_type\": \"data_processing\"}"
When I retry the HTTP request until the response contains "completed" with max 20 retries and a 120 second timeout
Then the HTTP response should be valid JSON
