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.
