test: Retry auth if extension is not loaded yet

Jay McCurerequested to merge
jmc-retry-auth into main

Description

Occasionally the extension isn't loaded when we try to authenticate causing the test to fail. This MR implements a retry when no GitLab authenticate command isn't available.

This seems to be a common problem across testing VS Code extensions as there is currently no way to tell if an extension is loaded or not: https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-extension-tester/issues/854

Note: this also reduces the log level to info, as the debug level was generating more than the maximum for our job logs.
