Retry S3 Operations After Connection Reset Failure

Retry backup's S3 operations after connection reset failure. #54900 (Vitaly Baranov).
Retry backup's S3 operations after connection reset failure to improve robustness of S3 backups in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the problem of intermittent connection resets during S3 operations when performing backups. By retrying these operations, it reduces backup failures caused by transient network issues, thereby increasing reliability and stability for users backing up data to S3-compatible storage.

How to use it

The retry mechanism for S3 operations during backups is enabled by default as part of the upgrade. Users do not need to change their configuration but simply upgrade to the ClickHouse version that includes this fix to benefit from automatic retries on connection resets.
