fix(gitea): make retry backoff configurable and retry temp net errors

Address review feedback:

1. Make backoff delays injectable via Client.RetryBackoff field
   - Defaults to {1s, 2s} when nil for production
   - Tests can set shorter values for fast execution
   - Fixes slow unit tests that previously waited 3+ seconds

2. Add retry on temporary network errors (net.OpError, net.DNSError)
   - Connection refused, network unreachable, DNS failures now retry
   - Non-temporary network errors still fail immediately
   - Context cancellation still respected during backoff

Added isTemporaryNetError helper and TestIsTemporaryNetError test.
Updated existing retry tests to use configurable short backoffs.
