Retry svn checkout in the CD pipeline up to 5 times

[amaltaro]

Fixes #11748

Status

not-tested

Description

Given that svn checkout has been unstable this week, I am trying a first easy approach which is to retry it.
Retry up to 5 times, sleeping 60 seconds between retries.

Is it backward compatible (if not, which system it affects?)

YES

And now it has the actual "sleep 60" command, which I completely missed in my previous review request. I assume it's "still" good, so I am merging this one as well.

Changes provided in this PR didn't behave as expected and apparently we cannot implement a retry logic in the CD pipeline, or not in this manner, as suggested by this log snippet:
