dotnet retest

Runs dotnet test with retries for failed tests automatically, and pretty-prints aggregated test results, integrating also with GitHub PR comments just like dotnet-trx.

Typical usage: dotnet retest [OPTIONS] [-- [dotnet test options]] (with optional --attempts which defaults to 5):

    - name: 🧪 test
      run: |
        dotnet tool update -g dotnet-retest
        dotnet retest -- --no-build [other test options and args]

PR comment integration:
