Investigate/test fetcher retries

[jku]

I'm expecting urllib3 to retry 3 times on common http failures when using urllib3fetcher

There's an interesting failure in sigstore-probers where this does not seem to happen:

Traceback (most recent call last):

possibly in the streaming case only the connection establishment uses retries and the actual streaming does not?
