Resolves #4796

Introduced the --resume-retries option in order to allow resuming incomplete downloads incase of dropped or timed out connections.

This option uses the values specified for --retries and --timeout for each resume attempt, since they are passed in the session.

Used 0 as the default in order to keep backwards compatibility.

This PR is based on #11180

The downloader will make new requests and attempt to resume downloading using a Range header. If the initial response includes an ETag (preferred) or Date header, the downloader will ask the server to resume downloading only when it is safe (i.e., the file hasn't changed since the initial request) using an If-Range header.

If the server responds with a 200 (e.g. if the server doesn't support partial content or can't check if the file has changed), the downloader will restart the download (i.e. start from the very first byte); if the server responds with a 206 Partial Content, the downloader will resume the download from the partially downloaded file.

- Added —resume-retries option to allow resuming incomplete downloads
- Setting —resume-retries=N allows pip to make N attempts to resume downloading, in case of dropped or timed out connections
- Each resume attempt uses the values specified for —retries and —timeout internally

I'm guessing the CI fails because of the new linter rules introduced in 102d818

Does this do rsync-style checksums? That would increase reliability.
