Add retry for reliable jobs

Anastasia McDonald requested to merge qa-add-retry-for-reliable-jobs into master

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.

Adds single retry for review-qa-reliable jobs the same way we do for review-qa-smoke. While monitoring daily failures, I noticed reliable jobs sometimes failing due to Review App being briefly unavailable, meanwhile, smoke jobs in the same pipeline didn't come up in the reports as they were automatically retried and passed. By adding retry for reliable we will keep the behaviour consistent and it also shouldn't increase pipeline duration in any significant way as smokes are already being retried and it will happen in parallel.

e.g. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/1829508557, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/1822903286, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/1837685008

NB This should negate any general environment flakiness, however the root cause of the outages will be investigated separately in #346970 (closed).
