Limits the number of concurrent requests to a single host in order to reduce (hopefully to eliminate) errors where the server objects. Also adds automatic retries (with exponential backoff) to further mitigate transient errors.

Partial mitigation of #152.
Closes #103
Closes #25

The introduction of retries has required update of the VCR recordings; the actual changes are fairly limited in scope - I deliberately chose retryablehttp because it was a near seamless drop in replacement.

Marked as draft because too many commits have been pulled in by Github.
Fixed by rebasing this PR. Might have conflicts if #215 is merged first; I'll remedy those if that happens.

I initially added this as a member of HTMLTest but that in turn required setRedirectLimitCheck() to be modified by passing a reference instead of a value; this broke redirection tests by increasing the number of issues found from 1 to 2.

Making this a global is slightly suboptimal, but seemed to be a reasonable compromise. Happy to move it back into HTMLTest if that's a better spot for it to live.
