Bug: QPU.execution_options not used for QPU.retrieve_results
`QPU` allows `execution_options` to be set on both the class instance itself (`self.execution_options`) or on the `.execute` request(`execution_options` arg). It follows the right precedence order when calling `submit`, but does not consider `self.execution_options` in the construction of `QPUExecuteResponse` ([here](https://github.com/rigetti/pyquil/blob/a6429bd2bd623e8571728e7108e6bdf50fa92cbb/pyquil/api/_qpu.py#L200)).

One effect of this: if `get_qc()` is invoked with an `endpoint_id`, that endpoint is not used for results retrieval, and pyQuil tries to use the default instead (gateway). If no such gateway exists, then results retrieval fails.

This can be quickly fixed, and should be covered with a new test.
