feat: add exponential backoff retry logic to HTTP requests

- Add configurable retry parameters to EngineConfig (max_attempts, base_delay)
- Implement intelligent retry logic for 5xx errors, 429 rate limits, and network timeouts
- Add exponential backoff with jitter and Retry-After header support
- Integrate retry wrapper into _localize_chunk, recognize_locale, and whoami methods
- Maintain full backward compatibility with existing SDK behavior
- Add comprehensive test coverage (96/96 tests passing)
