[JENKINS-64493] Off-by-one in retry event log message

There is a off-by-one condition in the message that appears in the multibranch event log:

 

    Checking pull request #2742

Waiting for GitHub to create a merge commit for pull request 2742.  Retrying 4 more times...

Waiting for GitHub to create a merge commit for pull request 2742.  Retrying 3 more times...

Waiting for GitHub to create a merge commit for pull request 2742.  Retrying 2 more times...

      ‘Jenkinsfile’ not found

    Does not meet criteria 

It always stops at "Retrying 2 more times..."

Either the condition is wrong or you should decrease the retry counter before printing this message. Code
