Do not retry 401/403 errors in http client

Administrator requested to merge CLOUD-67-dont-retry-auth into main

Created by: rafax

Do not retry 401/403 errors in http clients:

  • RFC for 401 says user agent may repeat the request with updated credentials.
  • RFC for 403 says "The client SHOULD NOT automatically repeat the request with the same credentials"

This was noticed in CLOUD-67, where a request with invalid Github token is retried 20 times.
