Notarization status polling should guard against Apple Gateway Timeouts (status 504)

It seems that in my testing sometimes Apple's notarization gateway tends to return a 504. It appears this happens when polling to get the status of a notarization request via altool.
When this happens xcnotary exits with a non-zero exit code. While this is correct, it might be nice to introduce a retry mechanism for scenarios where the response isn't actually a pass/fail of notarization, but some other error which may be transient like a 504.
I don't think it should retry indefinitely, but a retry or 3 might be helpful to ensure that these edge cases don't result in having to re-run xcnotary when the "failure" isn't actually a failure per-se.
Sorry for the slow response.
As I wrote in #19 (comment) there isn't as much for xcnotary to do now given that Apple made a new similar tool with --wait functionality.
Under the hood xcnotary still uses altool which according to Apple is now deprecated.
Would you be able to try their new tool (man notarytool), with or without [--s3-acceleration | --no-s3-acceleration] flags (described in man page) to see if you're still seeing timeouts?
Closing as xcnotary is being deprecated, to be replaced with xcrun notarytool --wait as described in #22
