Description
The util module contains helper functions for sending HTTP requests. We need to allow a retry option to send the requests n times (default could be 3) when there is a timeout. This will allow handling failures in Macaron analyze action more deterministically.

Research direction
Start in src/macaron/util.py and locate the helper functions that send HTTP requests, then trace how the analyze action calls them. Define how the retry option and its default of three attempts should apply when a request times out; done means timed-out requests retry the configured number of times and analyze handles these failures deterministically.
