This PR adds retries to the test portion of the Windows builds in CI, not just build. Test retries are a separate retry context, so the build won't have to also retry--hopefully this makes it so the AzDO job won't completely time out.
Better solutions are possible (skip specific tests in innerloop CI, break apart the test run into "never fail" and "retry" sections, improve Windows' reliability), but those are more difficult, and aren't sure to work. Adding blanket retries takes the pressure off until we can focus on Windows test reliability.
AzDO only allows retrying a failed job once all jobs in the stage have completed, so these retries will improve PR validation wall clock time. This also means a dev won't have to manually monitor their jobs to retry as soon as they can after a Windows flakiness issue shows up.
