fix(sampler): retry Cloudflare 52x and other 5xx during outages

Port of upstream grok-build 1.0.0/1.0.1-window retry policy.

- is_retryable_api_status: 429 plus any 5xx except Cloudflare 525/526
  (origin TLS handshake / invalid certificate — never clears on its
  own), replacing the 500|502|503|504|520 allowlist so the 521-524,
  529, and 530 edge pages an outage serves actually retry.
- The generic retry path clamps a server Retry-After to
  MAX_RETRY_BACKOFF (30s) and jitters it: Cloudflare 52x pages ask for
  60-120s, which across the budget stalled a turn ~28 minutes. The 429
  path keeps the full (parse-capped) Retry-After under its low attempt
  cap, and jitter is shared via jittered().
