Description
Issue To Be Solved
Currently, the dependency manager does not retry when rate limited. For projects with lots of dependencies, this can cause issues when installing. Since flow deps add and flow deps install are combined now, this can be exacerbated by the fact that every dependency is installed every time a new one is added.
(Optional): Suggest A Solution
Retry on rate limit.

Research direction
Start by locating the command entry points for flow deps add and flow deps install, then trace how dependency installation reports rate-limit failures. Add retry behavior for rate-limited requests and verify that both commands can complete when a dependency service temporarily limits requests.
