```
Don't auto-retry in certain circumstances (#35037)

Someone encountered this in production, which should not happen:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/40f3f977-5110-4808-a456-7e708d953b3b"
/>

This moves certain errors into the category of "never retry" and reduces
the number of retries for some others. Also it adds some diagnostic
logging for retry policy.

It's not a complete fix for the above, because the underlying issues is
that the server is sending a HTTP 403 response and although we were
already treating 403s as "do not retry" it was deciding to retry with 2
attempts anyway. So further debugging is needed to figure out why it
wasn't going down the 403 branch by the time the request got here.

Release Notes:

- N/A
```
