Add the retry plugin to automatically retry requests that fail with
server errors (5xx status codes). Configure the plugin to exclude 429
(rate limit) from retries since that is already handled by the
throttling plugin.

Add @octokit/plugin-retry dependency

Register retry plugin in Octokit client

Export retryOptions with doNotRetry list excluding 429

Apply retryOptions in GitHubHelper constructor
