dumb: Retry HTTP request checking protocol in case of temporary failure

Some network issues can also happen when checking a git repository can be cloned using the dump protocol so add HTTP retry feature to the check_protocol function.

Fixes SWH-LOADER-GIT-1NT

I also fixed some mypy reported errors in another commit.

Jenkins job DLDG/gitlab-builds #84 succeeded .
See Console Output and Coverage Report for more details.
