fix: retry polling on all errors #1730

Merged

When implementing the backoff for errors when polling for deployment or submitting inventory, we added an exception for unauthorized errors. After looking at how it was done in Mender Client 3, we discovered that such an exception was not present there, and that the backoff should be triggered for all types of errors.

Changelog: All errors when polling for deployment or submitting inventory are retried with an exponential backoff.

Ticket: MEN-7938

To the changelog I would:

  • Rephrase a bit to align with the documentation All attempts to communicate with the server are retried on errors ...
  • Add a final sense like "This aligns the behavior to the Mender Client 3 state machine"
