Suggest we move retry to verbose logs, as this is not normally pertinent info.

[boumenot]

Commit 0026f451 reduced retry messages from info to verbose.

e.g.

 [HTTP Retry] Attempt 2 of 3: [HTTP Retry] HTTP GET Status Code 503

Commit 74bd379d eliminated the delay messages.

INFO [HTTP Delay] Delay 15 seconds for Status Code 503

These commits are already in 2.2.19, so there’s nothing more to do.
