Add automatic retries to download paths #4894
Description
For operations like downloading a theme or a language file, or latest Core code, we should have an automatic retry mechanism with a configurable threshold (defaulting to 3 as a good compromise).
This would not only make general scripting with WP-CLI more reliable but also drastically increase the reliability of our automated tests, which constantly fail due to random timeouts when doing downloads.
