Retry HTTP request

The GBC has a retry mechanism to resend requests that fail due to network or HTTP error.

New theme variables control how the retry-on-error mechanism works:
$theme-network-retry-on-error A list of HTTP status codes.
$theme-network-retry-timeout Timeout (in seconds) after which an HTTP request is resent.

For more information on using retry-on-error in GBC, see HTTP retries.
