Add the retry option to allow a failed request to be  retried after the given
number of seconds instead of  failing the pipeline. Take account of the
Retry-After header if present.

Currently souphttpclientsink terminates the whole pipeline on any error, which
breaks streaming applications where streams are long lived and must recover
from temporary network glitches.

Add support for the "retry" option, which gives the number of seconds to back
off and wait before retrying the request again.

The also adds support for honouring the Retry-After header when present.
