`stack update` failing on CI with `file returned by server too large`

[avdv]

Describe the bug When bazel is calling stack update, it is failing in the following way:

To Reproduce This occurs in our CI jobs quite frequently. It might actually be some kind of race condition or stale caches.

Not sure if we can do something about it, maybe a stack upgrade would help? Maybe we could retry the command a few times if it fails with that error?

Expected behavior This should work more reliably.

Environment

• OS name + version: Github action runners, ubuntu-latest, windows-latest
• Bazel version: 6.2.0
• Version of the rules: -
