    [tests] Add RetryOnFailure annotation

    Yesterday I was looking into ways to automatically retry selective tests, 
which are known to be unstable on the CI service. This PR adds a small utility 
for this.
    
    ```java
    public class YourTest {
    
        @Rule
        public RetryRule retryRule = new RetryRule();
    
        @Test
        @RetryOnFailure(times=1)
        public void yourTest() {
            // This will be retried 1 time (total runs 2) before failing the 
test.
            throw new Exception("Failing test");
        }
    }
    ```
    
    @tillrohrmann and @rmetzger have worked on build stability lately. Do you 
think this is useful? Is there a test for which you would use this? If you 
don't think so, close this. I don't think we should add unused "utilities".
