Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing EF Core execution strategy implementations and the System.Data DbException.IsTransient API referenced in the issue. Determine how a provider can use the new strategy as-is, then verify that transient exceptions are retried correctly and that support remains compatible with the project's version constraints.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area-save-changes

Now that DbException.IsTransient has been merged into System.Data (https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/34817), we can now provide an execution strategy implementation which relies on it. Providers where the property is implemented should be able to just use this strategy as-is.

Note: since the property is only available in .NET 5.0, this isn't likely to be very useful until we drop support for previous versions.
