Remove RetryException.

Retries should be an implementation detail of the cache client implementation. No client is interested in the number of retry attempts, so it seems better to make the retry code transparent with respect to exceptions. The retry code also wrapped arbitrary exceptions with RetryException. It is now the responsibility of the cache implementation code to convert low-level exceptions to IOException or an error meaningful at higher layers like CacheNotFoundException. For example, the gRPC action cache and remote executor now explicitly convert StatusRuntimeException into IOException.

Also, remove PassThroughException, since it's unused.

This should fix https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6308.

Closes #7009.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
