Increase retry attempts when querying / installing providers #37250
Description
Terraform Version
Applicable to all past versions and latest versionUse Cases
TF CLI should perform additional retry attempts with exponential backoff when transient / temporary error conditions are encountered. The current 2x attempt approach should be increased (with exponential backoff between subsequent attempts) to between 4 to 6 attempts. Any reason it doesn't already?
Attempted Solutions
Follow up rerun of init etc shows the transient issue is not encountered.
