Retry requesting status up to 5 consecutive times when getting 5xx er…

This should help gitlab in periods where gitlab has network issues. That happens once in a while, and during this time there are few 5xx errors (502 and 504). When one happens on a MR status request, then Marge just unassign the MR, or close and re-opens a new batch. When 5xx errors happen every 10 minutes, nothing gets merged.

Thanks for fighting against the bad network. The retry facility would be even more useful if it could be extracted to a decorator.

@qqshfox is that a requirement for this to be merged?
