The Windows leg of the Test/Build workflow has been intermittently failing
with SocketTimeoutException inside :desktopApp:vlcDownload, even after the
in-build retry budget (retries(4) + 5min readTimeout in
desktopApp/build.gradle.kts) and the actions/cache of ~/.gradle/vlcSetup.
When get.videolan.org is unreachable for long enough to exhaust the inner
retries, the whole job dies on a cache miss.
Wrap the Test+Build step in nick-fields/retry@v4 (max_attempts: 2,
timeout_minutes: 45) so one outer retry can ride out a sustained
videolan.org outage. This mirrors the proven pattern already used in
create-release.yml for the release artifact build.
