Add retries as option when working with data transfers
Description
In the face of network faults, DataFed is canceling tasks. This needs to be controlled with an option. Instead, the default Globus behavior should be used, if a user specifically wants to cancel a transfer after a determined number of faults that is an option they can specify. This is particularly important when first testing a repository and attempting to detect network errors, but it is also useful to cancel tasks early in cases where there is high network traffic and an alternative transfer request to a different Globus endpoint might be preferable.
