Temporarily increase retry limit in test_launcher
In bot mode, test_launcher would normally retry tests up to 3 times.
This is sufficient to keep large test suites like browser_tests under
1% flakiness rate if the flakiness of individual tests is also within
1%. However, some tests especially in browser_tests are up to 33%
flaky, making the browser_tests suite 40% flaky.
Subsequent top-level retries effectively double the runtime of all
bots running these tests, and we need a solution to shorten the try
job runtime.
A longer-term solution is the ignorer bot (see the bug), but until
it's deployed, a quick hack is to increase the number of retries so
statistically we should see about 1% flakiness of browser_tests at the
expense of a slight runtime increase.
