Vaidas Pilkauskas 59c8f3ca3b http: add support for HTTP 429 rate limit retries
Add retry logic for HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) responses to handle
server-side rate limiting gracefully. When Git's HTTP client receives
a 429 response, it can now automatically retry the request after an
appropriate delay, respecting the server's rate limits.

The implementation supports the RFC-compliant Retry-After header in
both delay-seconds (integer) and HTTP-date (RFC 2822) formats. If a
past date is provided, Git retries immediately without waiting.

Retry behavior is controlled by three new configuration options
(http.maxRetries, http.retryAfter, and http.maxRetryTime) which are
documented in git-config(1).

The retry logic implements a fail-fast approach: if any delay
(whether from server header or configuration) exceeds maxRetryTime,
Git fails immediately with a clear error message rather than capping
the delay. This provides better visibility into rate limiting issues.

The implementation includes extensive test coverage for basic retry
behavior, Retry-After header formats (integer and HTTP-date),
configuration combinations, maxRetryTime limits, invalid header
handling, environment variable overrides, and edge cases.

/**
* This header centralizes the declaration of our libcurl dependencies
* to make it easy to discover the oldest versions we support, and to
* inform decisions about removing support for older libcurl in the
* future.
*
* The oldest supported version of curl is documented in the "INSTALL"
* document.
*
* The source of truth for what versions have which symbols is
* https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/libcurl/symbols-in-versions;
* the release dates are taken from curl.git (at
* https://github.com/curl/curl/).
*
* For each X symbol we need from curl we define our own
* GIT_CURL_HAVE_X. If multiple similar symbols with the same prefix
* were defined in the same version we pick one and check for that name.
*
* We may also define a missing CURL_* symbol to its known value, if
* doing so is sufficient to add support for it to older versions that
* don't have it.
*
* Keep any symbols in date order of when their support was
* introduced, oldest first, in the official version of cURL library.
