Adding retries

You've noticed that one particular Dag is failing often on a task that extracts data from a given source. Frustratingly, running the task a few minutes later seems to remedy the problem. After learning about the retry functionality in Airflow Dags, you decide to implement retries on this task to keep from restarting it manually.

The dag, task, and timedelta are already imported for you.
