kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 be4c1b2394 fix(update): stop retrying the 404 of pacman's optional database signature ...

pacman's DatabaseOptional fetches <repo>.db.sig after every database; Arch
publishes none, so every mirror answers 404. The XferCommand ran curl with
--retry-all-errors, which retried that permanent 404 three times, 2 s apart,
for about 18 s per refresh on every Arch host (deploy log 17.4-18.3 s).

pacman-xfer keeps retrying transient failures (transport errors, 5xx, every
4xx but 404/410), honours Retry-After on 429/503 up to 30 s and drops a failed
attempt's partial bytes like curl's own retry did; 404 and 410 fail at once.
The shell-download-retry lint accepts a download its script retries in a
bounded counter loop that leaves on success and sleeps between attempts.
