ECONNRESET - Retry transient network errors

[tomdaniel-mensura]

I got the following error during the task execution:
##[error]Error: read ECONNRESET

It looks to me like this is something transient. I also tried redeploying again, then it worked.
Maybe some kind of retry mechanism can be implemented for errors like these? Since redeploying just to make this work isn't something that can always as easily be done, for example for non-idempotent deploys or deploys that take a long time.

Happy to open a pull request for this if you can confirm that the project is still active.

Here's the full log output:

Agree, I have this too. Fortunately, we can add continueOnError for the task but it's annoying that it stops the task and not continue at least the other WorkItems...
