nimble doesn't retry on failure: Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Operation timed out

• similar to CI failure: error: 503 (Unable to query remote tags`) => nimble should retry at least once #266
• if still needs fixing, see fix common source of flaky tests (443 / 503 github errors) by retrying with backoff nim-lang/Nim#14547 for how to do it

this happens quite a few times, the root cause might be nimble giving up on 1st timeout instead of at least trying a 2nd time
