Thanks for a nice project/action 🙇

After we have automated the issue creation of some of our cyclic tasks we have seen multiple errors raising from this action contributed to race conditions in the underlying API.

I believe that the errors can be contributed to the fact that we are opening and labeling new issues automatic and thus starting multiple runs of this action at the same time.

The current trigger is:

on:
  issues:
    types:
      - opened
      - transferred
      - labeled

I've tried to rerun more of our failed actions and they do succeed on the rerun. Therefore I'm proposing adding a retry possibility to the action such that the action is more resilient to race conditions like these.

I see that the errors we are seeing have been opened as issues:

I've created the PR with existing actions in mind and made the new input non required and default to 0 such that changes won't affect existing uses of this action in case you approve of this change.

Will add retry-limit to list of inputs and make additional calls to the GraphQL API if it for some reason fails.
