Automatic backoff/retry on HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

[soxofaan]

Some backends have middleware to throttle the number of concurrent requests, returning a 429 Too Many Requests if some limit is exceeded. The python client could provide automatic retry with (e.g. exponential) backoff functionality.

The python requests library even supports this quite easily

from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter, Retry
retries = Retry(total=5,read=10,other=10,status=10,
                backoff_factor=0.1,
                status_forcelist=[ 502, 503, 504,404,429],
                method_whitelist=["HEAD", "GET", "OPTIONS","POST"])
session.mount('https://', HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retries))
session.mount('http://', HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retries))

indeed, we might consider moving this helper from python driver to python client: https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-python-driver/blob/b9f465dc276a3d0b0217d7f76a416b7cb943cd38/openeo_driver/util/http.py#L7-L31

and we apparently also have it in MultiBackendJobManager:
