Thales Macedo Garitezi a7b41e1cdf perf(webhook): add retry attempts for async
This is a performance improvement for webhook bridge.

Since this bridge is called using `async` callback mode, and `ehttpc`
frequently returns errors of the form `normal` and `{shutdown,
normal}` that are retried "for free" by `ehttpc`, we add this behavior
to async requests as well.  Other errors are retried too, but they are
not "free": 3 attempts are made at a maximum.

This is important because, when using buffer workers, we should avoid
making them enter the `blocked` state, since that halts all progress
and makes throughput plummet.

Added a retry mechanism to webhook bridge that attempts to improve throughput.

This optimization retries request failures without blocking the buffering layer, which can improve throughput in situations of high messaging rate.
