Retry logic for KV

[paulchoi]

Does python-consul handle retrying when an error is encountered during a KV operation? In an unreliable environment, I sometimes see Consul return 500 error.

I can certainly refactor my code and use something like retrying, if retry is out of python-consul's scope.

For cases where consul.Consul is used, I can configure requests's HTTPAdapter, but in most cases I am using consul.aio.

@paulchoi I would think that the retry handling logic would be out of scope for python-consul as it is a library. That said, I am happy to be persuaded otherwise if someone has a sane PR that handles the case across the board (ie. all clients).

I'd say that retry logic should be handled at the application level.
