shankar0123 1383fe419b ci: add exponential-backoff retry to digest-validity guard
The Phase 2 commit's CI run (2026-05-13T19:50 against 69a2b5c) failed
on digest-validity.sh with HTTP 429 from ghcr.io while resolving the
lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server digest. ghcr.io rate-limits
unauthenticated manifest HEAD requests aggressively; the existing
guard had no retry, so a single 429 failed the whole CI gate.

Fix: retry on 429 / 502 / 503 / 504 with exponential backoff (2s,
4s, 8s; max 3 retries per ref). Non-retryable errors (400, 401, 403,
404, 5xx that aren't gateway-class) still fail fast — we only retry
on the transient-rate-limit + gateway-blip class. Each retry logs
the attempt count so a future operator investigating an outage can
see how many attempts happened before the final verdict.

The local re-run after the fix shows all 15 verifiable digests
resolve cleanly (no retries were needed on this particular run — the
429 was transient, as expected).

Not a Phase-1/2/3 regression; this is a pre-existing fragility in a
guard that's been in place since ci-pipeline-cleanup Phase 7. The
fix lands as a small follow-on to Phase 3 because the prompt's
recommended ratchet is 'CI guards should be reliable enough to gate
the build, or they should be advisory.'
