Summary
This PR implements my proposal in #296 (comment).
It introduces a new retry option:
{:delay, milliseconds, request_retry_modifier}The request_retry_modifier is a function that is invoked before a retry. It receives the current request and returns a modified request.
Why?
Currently, Req does not re-run steps on retries. This new option provides an escape hatch for scenarios where request modification is needed on retry—for example, recomputing a time-based authentication header.
