Feat: support retries in e2e tests in CI

[jpraynaud]

Content

This PR includes support for retrying e2e test runs in case of transient error on the Cardano network of the underlying devnet (which happen because of the custom configuration used for it). This will overall remove the main source of flakiness in the CI runs.

Error handling improvements:

• mithril-test-lab/mithril-end-to-end/src/devnet/runner.rs: Introduced UnrecoverableDevnetError and updated error handling in impl Devnet to use this new error type.

Main execution flow restructuring:

• mithril-test-lab/mithril-end-to-end/src/main.rs: Refactored the main function to use a new AppResult enum for handling different exit codes and added implementation for Termination to map results to exit codes.

Enhancements to GitHub workflows:

• .github/workflows/backward-compatibility.yml: Added retry logic to the E2E tests using nick-fields/retry@v3.
• .github/workflows/ci.yml: Added retry logic to the Test job using nick-fields/retry@v3.

Examples

Here is an example of retry in the CI:
