Add retry decorator
Pull the retry decorator up from cdi sepsis.

Fix:
- for loop inside exception handler after initial attempt.
- spurious delay after the final retry attempt.
- accumulated floating point errors in the delay.

Add:
+ default argument for `sleep=time.sleep` function to replace duration in test.
+ default argument for `warn=logger.warn` function to replace
stderr/stdout during test.

Logging appearing to come from `dsdk.util.retry` may not be useful. Passing the client module's `warn=logger.warn` during decoration allows the retry attempt to be logged in the client module's stderr or stdout stream.
