Add retry decorator (API inspired by tenacity)
This decorator will be useful for retrying asynchronous
operations, such as gpg key refresh (bug 649276). The
API is inspired by tenacity, but is simpler. Only
asynchronous functions (like @asyncio.coroutine functions)
are supported. In order to retry a synchronous function,
first convert it to an asynchronous function as follows:
asynchronous_func = functools.partial(
loop.run_in_executor, None, synchronous_func)
