requests_cache is not optional on retry

[toslunar]

Description

requests_cache is unconditionally imported at uncache_url, which is called by fetch_with_retries on retry.

Reproduce

pytest --check-links on a document containing a broken link that returns retry-after header, for example

<a href="https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/11846/arose/nglview">

Expected behavior

For the broken link, the test failure message should be

FAILED index.html::/.../index.html <a href=https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/11846/arose/nglview>

instead of

FAILED index.html::/.../index.html <a href=https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/11846/arose/nglview> - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests_cache'

Moreover, temporarily down links could be retried without requests_cache.
