Add support for retries after connection failures

Sometimes you're provisioning a VM that hasn't had enough time to boot. It would be a nice feature for terraform-provider-ssh to retry in the face of connection refused/timeout.
Something like:
resource "ssh_resource" "bootstrap" {
host = var.host
user = var.user
agent = true
retry_for = "5m"
retry_delay = "10s"
commands = [
"/tmp/bootstrap.sh",
]
}
The retry_for
and retry_delay
values above are perhaps sensible defaults, although if backward compatibility with current behavior is important then retry_for
could default to 0
.
Alternatively, if retrying in the face of connection issues is a sensible default, you could drop retry_for
altogether, include the time-to-connect in the current timeout
argument. In this case, retry_delay
is probably still a desirable configurable.

This is implemented in version 2.3.0
